Selecting the Best Printing Calculator for Accounting and Finance

Things to consider when purchasing a printing calculator:

Do I need a Medium-Duty or a Heavy-Duty Calculator? A Medium-Duty calculator is smaller and designed for less frequent use, ideal for small businesses or personal finance management.

At Monroe, our Medium-Duty calculator models include:

• 6120X: Perfect for light to medium usage, this model offers essential functions with reliability.
• 122PDX: A step up, this model provides additional features like tax calculations, making it suitable for professionals in smaller firms.
• 2020plusX: This is our most advanced medium-duty model, offering a balance of functionality and ease of use, ideal for busy professionals who need efficiency but not the full range of a heavy-duty machine.

A Heavy-Duty calculator is built for intensive use, with durable components and advanced functions. Suitable for accountants, financial analysts, and other professionals who rely heavily on calculators.

Our Heavy-Duty models at Monroe are:

• 8130X: A robust model designed for the most demanding tasks, perfect for high-volume environments.
• 8145X: Offers advanced functionalities, including complex financial calculations, ideal for finance professionals.
• UltimateX: As the name suggests, this is our top-of-the-line model, combining speed, durability, and a wide range of functions for the ultimate calculating experience.
• ClassicX: A harmonious blend of classic design and modern efficiency, the ClassicX is ideal for those who need advanced functions in a user-friendly, traditional format.

To determine your needs, consider:

1. Frequency of Use: For those using calculators for more than 25% of their work week, a heavy-duty model is recommended.
2. Required Functions: Heavy-duty models offer a broader range of mathematical programs and capabilities.

Print Speed A critical feature, especially in high-demand environments. Faster print speeds mean more efficiency and less risk of missing important calculations.

Features to Consider:

• Key Touch: Ensures comfort and accuracy during extended use.
• Calculator Body Material: Durability is key, especially for heavy-duty use.
• Warranty: Indicates the manufacturer's confidence in their product. Monroe offers a six-month warranty, covering any out-of-the-box defects.

Support: Monroe provides free lifetime phone support for each unit, reflecting our commitment to customer satisfaction and the reliability of our products.

Differences between Monroe calculator models:

• 6120X: A reliable, user-friendly medium-duty calculator.
• 122PDX: Adds more complex functions, still within a medium-duty framework.
• 2020PlusX: The bridge between medium and heavy-duty, providing advanced features in a manageable size.
• 8130X: A powerhouse for high-volume calculations.
• 8145X: Combines speed with a wide range of functions.
• UltimateX: The epitome of Monroe's quality and functionality.
• ClassicX: Balances classic Monroe design with modern functionality. It's designed for users who prefer a traditional calculator experience but require the advanced features of contemporary models.

Comparison to Other Brands:

• Sharp: Known for reliability but often lacks the advanced functions found in Monroe’s models.
• Canon: Offers good basic functions but doesn’t match Monroe’s durability or print quality.
• Victor: Competes in functionality but Monroe wins in durability and ease of use.
• Casio: While popular for basic models, doesn’t offer the heavy-duty capabilities of Monroe’s higher-end models.
