Original Copy Supplies has been a wholesaler of quality OEM consumable supplies to office equipment dealers since 1988. It’s your one-stop shop for most OEM ink, toner, color products, and drums. “We specialize in knowledgeable, respectful selling of genuine OEM and compatible consumable products. Although we sell everything from Brother to Xerox, our real product is satisfied wholesale customers,” states Brian O’Connor, the new president and owner of Original Copy.

Doing things differently has always been the Original Copy way. Any company can give a price on a supply. But does the company have it in stock? Does the company know the products it’s selling? Is the buying experience enjoyable? Is the product availability the best in the industry? At Original Copy, the goal is to always be able to answer “yes” to the customer’s needs.

Original Copy was recently purchased by O’Connor from Marc Rosenthal. “I had done business with Original Copy for many years while working for Imcopex,” states O’Connor. “I had always enjoyed working with all of their employees. I appreciated their knowledge and excellent customer service. When I needed to locate a hard-to-find product, Original Copy always came through. I knew I could turn to Original Copy to help me find one box or 200 units.

“When I was ready to buy my own business,” continues O’Connor, “I looked around trying to find the right one. There it was, right in front of me. Marc Rosenthal was looking for a buyer. I knew firsthand the quality of the people and products. As far as I was concerned, it was a perfect fit.

“Once the purchase was completed and I moved to Palm Beach, the staff of Original Copy welcomed me with open arms. I immediately felt a part of the Original Copy family. The biggest challenge Original faced was in the area of technology, but with the newly installed computer system and website, Original will better meet the increasing complexity of our clients’ needs. This includes being EDI and DDMS capable for those clients requiring these ordering procedures,” comments O’Connor.

Rick Rothschild, an 18-year employee of Original Copy and the artist and writer of the “Adventures of Supply Guy” cartoons that were seen for many years in the Original Copy advertisements, sums up the changes taking place: “Brian O’Connor has made our good company great. Brian is our motivator. He brings new contacts, innovative ideas, and a lot of fun to the office each day. He encourages us to work hard and play hard. I look forward to being able to help our customers grow their businesses as we grow ours.”

Trust is Original Copy’s greatest selling strength. The average tenure of its sales reps is over seven years. A familiar voice, with proven knowledge and trustworthiness, is worth more than an advertised Internet price that is too low to be legitimate.

Original Copy’s goal is to become your trusted provider of new, genuine OEM consumable products and high-quality compatible products for the models most often requested. The company offers products for Brother, Canon, Copystar, Dex, Hewlett Packard, Gestetner, Konica Minolta, Kyocera Mita, Lanier, OKI, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sharp, Toshiba, Tektronix, Xerox, and more.

Having warehouses in New Mexico, New Jersey, and Florida allows for low freight costs with next-day or two-day delivery throughout the United States. With knowledgeable sales reps, quality products, and fast and economical shipping, Original Copy fulfills all of a wholesaler’s needs.

The company has many customers who are in their second decade of doing business with Original Copy. It’s the trusted business partner of hundreds of wholesalers who consider it their one-stop shopping center for all of their outsourced OEM products. “We are proud to say that many of our long-term customers are not only our business partners, but also our friends,” comments O’Connor.

Original Copy specializes in finding and providing hard-to-locate OEM supplies at very attractive wholesale prices. Many authorized dealers buy their OEM supplies from Original Copy. “Once I meet my quarterly quota, I buy all my OEM supplies from Original Copy at discounted prices. I keep my quotas from increasing as well as save money on the products and freight cost,” states one of its dealer customers. This is a sentiment commonly heard from the company’s dealers.

“We are willing to work for all of your business. If you need new, old, or back-ordered OEM supplies, our experienced buyers will do everything possible to locate the products you need,” says O’Connor. This is the underlying philosophy that has attributed to Original Copy’s success.

Original Copy makes ordering easy for its customers. Its new website enables you to order online or you can call and speak with a knowledgeable rep who’s happy to answer your questions and fill your orders on a one-on-one, person-to-person basis. First-time buyers can take immediate advantage of the company’s knowledgeable staff and same-day shipping. Products can be shipped through credit card payment or on a c.o.d. basis. Open account status can be set up for future purchases by filling out a credit application.

With the ongoing expansion of MFP and color products, OEM manufacturers seem to be adding new products each day. Think of Original Copy as your business partner. Its business is to enable you to successfully provide your clients with all the products they’re requesting. Original Copy wants to be your warehouse, providing over $2 million of instantly available inventory of OEM and compatible supplies, with over 2,000 SKUs just a phone call away.
