And while we understand Amazon's appeal, this blog will give you a clear comparison between Amazon and STPT, so you can make the most informed decision possible.

Modern technology is quite incredible.   

Today, printers have evolved from simple machines to sophisticated technological investments, thanks to contemporary knowledge.

Similar to smartphones, many modern printers are equipped with touchscreen interfaces, allowing users to download apps to streamline business operations and enhance productivity. However, not every app will be suitable for your business, and some may come with a price tag.

The time has come where you need to scan a document. Maybe you need to verify your identity with scanned versions of your driver's license for a new job. Or maybe you need to scan documents for a school or work project.

In any case, you don't own a printer or scanner, and you don't have time to go to your nearest library to scan a few pages. Thankfully, you have an iPhone. Scans are essentially just images, so the camera on your iPhone is really all you need to start scanning. 

So, how do you scan from an iPhone? Many of the customer's we've had often ask us this same question. You won't always have access to a printer, so knowing how to use your phone to scan documents is important.

Do you need to send an important document to a hospital, government office, or legal firm? Chances are, they’ve asked you to fax it. But like most people today, you don’t own a fax machine. This is a common dilemma, especially for younger generations who’ve probably never used one. Despite the world going digital, faxing remains a secure way to send documents, particularly in sectors like government and healthcare. It’s not likely to go away anytime soon.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve been in the printing industry for over 35 years, long enough to remember when fax machines were a common office staple. We understand that the average person wants convenient and quick ways to get things done. Today, we’ll leverage modern technology and show you how to fax without a fax machine.
