I'm terribly sorry, but we don't deal in such services. We sell a selection of black and white as well as color copiers.

I see. At last time we installed new copiers, we had a really hard time those being ready. I wish you had such a service. However you mentioned you have two type of copires. That's great. Is there another merit on your product?
