When a business starts looking for a printer, they’re often told that laser printers are the best choice for the office. While, yes, laser technology dominates most workplace environments, this doesn’t mean inkjet printers can’t also be suitable.

Most people assume that inkjet printers are meant for home use and occasional printing, but that assumption isn’t entirely accurate.

Businesses that rely on high-quality color output can still benefit from inkjet printing technology. Today, marketing teams, designers, photographers, and even some print shops use inkjet printers to produce vibrant images, detailed graphics, and specialized print materials.

At the same time, inkjet printers are not the right fit for every business. The right printer for a business will depend on factors like print volume, document type, operating costs, and reliability.

One of the top things you need to determine before purchasing an office printer/copier is where you'll set it up in your office, home, living room, business, etc. You need to consider not only the printer's size but also its placement so that you can properly access it when needed.

Printers today come in all shapes and sizes, catering to diverse needs and spaces. There's a printer for every scenario, from compact, desktop-friendly models to large, multifunction machines. 

While powerful and feature-rich, large multifunction printers (MFPs) often lean towards bulkier designs that can take up a lot of space in your business or workspace.

Growth is exciting, but can your printer fleet keep up with it?

For one of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas, this question kept popping up. More students mean more teachers and more campuses. And with that growth also comes more printing, more color usage, more service calls, and more pressure on IT.

The district needed a print vendor that could scale with them, reduce unnecessary color costs, and deliver reliable local service without disrupting instruction.

Here’s what they were facing, how they evaluated vendors, and what solution they implemented district-wide.
