You’ve just printed a stack of important reports. They look great—until you realize you have to staple and organize every single one by hand. Suddenly, a simple print job turns into a tedious, time-consuming task. Wouldn’t it be nice if your printer could handle that for you?
That’s where print finishing options come in. These add-ons streamline your workflow, giving your documents a polished, professional look while saving you time.
At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve worked with Xerox printers for nearly 40 years, helping businesses, schools, and IT departments optimize their printing solutions. We know that the right finishing options can make all the difference in efficiency and professionalism.
In this blog, we’ll break down the finishing options available for the Xerox VersaLink printer family, so you can determine which ones best fit your needs. Whether you need simple stapling or full booklet-making capabilities, we’ve got you covered.
What Are Print Finishing Options?
Before we dive into the details, let’s quickly go over what print finishing options actually are. Simply put, they are accessories that handle the final steps of the printing process. These features can include stapling, hole-punching, and booklet-making. Print finishers turn basic print jobs into professional-grade documents.
It’s important to note that finishing options are not included with the base printer; they are optional add-ons available for separate purchase.
Choosing the right finisher depends on your workflow and office space (more on this later). Now, let’s explore the finishing options available for the Xerox VersaLink family.

Consider Your Available Space
Adding a finisher to your Xerox VersaLink printer will increase its overall footprint. Before purchasing a finishing accessory, consider how much space you have available.
If you’re working with limited space, the Integrated Office Finisher or Convenience Stapler may be your best options. If space isn’t an issue, you can take advantage of the Office Finisher with Booklet Maker for full-fledged professional finishing.

Is a Print Finisher Worth the Investment?
The decision to invest in a finishing option depends on your print volume and workflow needs. If your office frequently prints reports, manuals, or booklets, a finisher can save significant time and effort by automating tasks like stapling, hole-punching, and booklet-making.
Although finishing options require an upfront cost, they often pay for themselves in productivity gains—especially for offices that handle large print jobs daily.
Choose the Right Finisher for Your Workflow
Your printing setup should work for you, not the other way around. Xerox VersaLink finishers let you automate tasks like stapling, hole punching, and booklet making—saving time and improving efficiency.
