Office Equipment

The workplace has become more technologically advanced with time, which has increased the efficiency of office technology in automating tasks that would customarily be completed manually.  

But there is a mechanism that print providers use to execute tasks like automatically shipping your toner at the right time or ensuring you have the latest firmware update for your device.  

It involves having your printers online, or in this case, connected to a cloud server from your print provider. 

​

Office security is like a house, with its many potential points of intrusion.     

Although you may have ample security at the front door, you might unknowingly have left the back window open, which precipitated a break-in just when you thought you had all your bases covered.   

Your printer could be the back window that a hacker infiltrates, resulting in a network invasion that cripples business processes and potentially exposes sensitive data.     

There are many things to consider when purchasing a printer.  

Some are obvious, like print volume and cost, and some are more inconspicuous, like space and electrical requirements, which is what we will be covering today.    

As a long-time local print vendor, we’ve seen numerous cases of customers that purchased a printer and thought they had everything in order, only to realize on delivery day that the machine they bought doesn’t fit in their office or doesn’t have the correct electrical outlet.    

On average, color prints cost between $0.07-$0.30 per print, a seemingly minuscule price that any business could bear.  

But what happens when you consistently print in color, and the costs add up faster than you realized?  

You’re left with a high printing bill and a puzzled look because you didn’t recognize how much color printing costs could run up your monthly print invoice.   

As a print vendor with noted experience finding and dissecting customers’ print problems, we know how common it is for color overages to contribute to higher-than-normal print expenses.    

When it comes to options for acquiring a printer for your business or personal workplace, there are three primary choices: buying, leasing or renting.   

The latter is the least frequent option and is the topic we’ll be going over today.   

Why would you want to rent a printer?   

Although it’s the least used option out of the three listed above, there are certain scenarios where renting a printer would be the best option for you.
