Learn What Types of Copiers are There and Which One Perfectly Fits Your Needs
Does your office produce a ton of paperwork on a daily basis? If that’s the case, then getting a printer alone might not be enough to meet your needs as a business. What you should instead focus on getting is a photocopier which is far more efficient if you process the same documents on a regular basis.
A photocopier is basically a machine that makes copies of a page. It’s good for various purposes such as when you’re making survey forms or any other form for that matter. Using a standard printer for such a task is both costly and unnecessary as photocopiers can do the same for less.
What you might not actually know is that there are various types of photocopiers and each of them work differently. Knowing each of these types, as well as their benefits will help you find the perfect photocopier for your business.
Desktop Photocopiers
Photocopiers are usually large machines that need to have their own space inside the office. They’re heavy-duty devices that have a lot of power at that. However, if you are looking for something compact, efficient, and most importantly cheap, then you might want to get a desktop photocopier.
As the name suggests, a desktop photocopier is small enough to sit on your desktop. Despite this, a desktop photocopier does not lack in any features. Some models are capable of everything that a regular-sized photocopier does. Some offices give these to people who really need to do a lot of paperwork inside the office.
Black And White Photocopiers
As the name suggests, black and white photocopiers are machines that only use one toner color. They are also called mono devices because they can only produce monochrome photocopies. As this is the case, these machines are often best used inside offices where the need to print copies of documents is always there.
These machines come in various sizes. There are low-end low volume copiers and high-speed high volume machines as well. The best mono photocopiers can copy or print at least 100+ pages per minute. If you’re looking for cheap but very functional photocopiers, then this is one of the best there is.
These are efficient, cheap, but very functional photocopiers. These are something that you’d definitely want in your office if you are looking for something useful but isn’t going to cost too much.
Color Photocopiers
Standing opposite of monochrome copiers are color photocopiers. They are capable of the same amount of work like a regular photocopier but what’s great about them is that they can produce other colors as well. This means that it’s a very versatile photocopier at that.
These color copiers also have at least a few drums, toner reservoirs, and cartridges. As per Toshiba Copiers, they have 4 primary colors which include Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and Black. Though a few, these colors can help create all other colors possible thus allowing for a more versatile device for the office.
Office Photocopiers
Business owners looking for something that’s more heavy-duty and reliable inside the office, then they should look for an office photocopier. These are floor-standing copiers that are capable of dealing with larger volumes of paper as compared to other photocopiers. What’s best is that it can print these at high speeds as well.
Although they are pricier as compared to other photocopiers, they are a good investment still as it can help get you through mounds of paperwork in a short amount of time. High-end models can do other things such as scanning, copying, stapling, and sorting the papers that you print.
Multifunctional Photocopiers
As the name itself says, these are multifunctional photocopiers that can do more than just make copies of documents or print new ones. They are also called as MFP’s or Multifunction Products and even all-in-one printers or devices. In terms of features, these photocopiers are the most generous.
MFP’s come with the usual features of a photocopier which include copying, printing, scanning, and even faxing. However, the newest models also come with internet access that allows the photocopiers to connect with other devices in the office network so that it can get the documents needed to be processed.
That being said, multifunctional photocopiers are also called network photocopiers at times because of their capacity to connect with other devices. It’s a good option for large office spaces as it lessens the burden of having to move around to get the necessary documents.
Some models of multifunctional photocopiers can also be upgraded with new features through software. As such, you can expand their functionality even further over time. Truly a photocopier that’s worth your time and money.
High Volume Photocopiers
Some offices with large workforces need more volume capacity for their photocopiers. Luckily, high volume photocopiers do exist as well. These are highly functional machines which are capable of printing around 50 pages per minute which is one of the highest for photocopiers.
These types of photocopiers are ideal for various office scenarios. These include government agencies, HR departments, and even schools too. High volume photocopiers are very durable as well as compared to other types of copiers so it’s a good investment for businesses.

Top payment solutions company, Paystack, has launched a holding company, known as The Stack Group (TSG), in its bid to aggregate the tech-focused family of brands connected with the Paystack brand.
TSG founding shareholders include Stripe, Shola Akinlade (Founder and CEO of Paystack), and existing Paystack employees. The agreements establishing TSG as the parent holding company were signed in October 2025, and are subject to the requisite regulatory approvals.
The announcement comes as Paystack celebrates its 10-year anniversary in January 2026.
Since its acquisition by Stripe in 2020, Paystack has grown its payment volume by 12x and is licensed and operational in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and South Africa, with regulatory approvals for Egypt and Rwanda, representing 46 per cent of Africa’s GDP, the company said in a press statement.
The statement added that this product-first approach to pan-African growth has led to Paystack becoming profitable at the group level.
The development follows the recent launch of Paystack MFB in Nigeria after it acquired Ladder Microfinance Bank in its push into consumer products.
The company noted that as a standalone bank, Paystack MFB allows the group to internalise core financial rails and provide the banking and credit infrastructure required by over 300,000 Nigerian merchants.
“These capabilities enable the development of elegant, compliant, and much-needed end-to-end money-movement solutions and will continue to power the company’s mission of building technology solutions for Africa, to power African ambition,” parts of the statement added.
TSG will provide a corporate umbrella for a family of complementary brands that are solving Africa-specific challenges, while remaining operationally independent. At the outset, TSG will include merchant payments solution, Paystack, its controversial consumer payments product, Zap, the recently launched Paystack Microfinance Bank and TSG Labs, which will serve as hub for emerging technologies and building new products both within and beyond financial technology.
According to Mr Akinlade, “The launch of TSG signals a larger scope of ambition for us and sets the tone for the next decade of our company. Having worked with thousands of companies across the continent since 2016, it is clear that there are significant opportunities to support businesses beyond payments, and TSG enables us to address the challenges African companies face.”
“Thank you to the Stripe team for their continued belief in Africa’s potential, and our ability to create transformative technology companies for the continent, and beyond,” he added.
