6 Ways Xerox is Helping to Combat Climate Change

Submitted by Keith Metzler on

It’s safe to say that climate change is no longer a distant problem, but a threat that’s currently breathing down our necks. From disrupted supply chains caused by extreme weather to soaring energy costs and increasingly selective customers, the impact on businesses is undeniable.

In fact, the Natural Marketing Institute found that 58% of U.S. consumers consider a company’s environmental footprint before making a purchase. If a company wants to attract and retain these customers, sustainability needs to be more than just talk and be part of its everyday operations.

Here’s where our expertise comes in. At STPT, we’ve spent decades helping organizations rethink their print environments not only to save money, but also to reduce their environmental impact.

Entry-Level vs. High-Volume Production Printers: Which One Is Right for Your Business?

Submitted by Byanka Ramos on

If you’ve started looking into production printers, you’ve probably realized there’s a big choice to make right away: Should you go with an entry-level production printer or invest in a high-volume model?

It’s not always an easy call. Entry-level models are more affordable and compact, but will they keep up with your workload?

Picking the wrong one can mean wasted money, constant frustration, or a printer that sits half-idle.

As veteran print vendors, we’ve helped businesses of all sizes select the right Xerox production printer for their needs. Whether a school prints a few thousand pages a month or a commercial shop runs millions, we have the right solution.
