Did you know that some printers/copiers can range from $1,000-$100,000? 

That makes it all the more significant that you get the right office machine in place for your company the first time around. Because wasting money on an insufficient machine can be significantly costly and frustrating.  

The number one thing you can do to make sure you get the right printer in place for your company is to educate yourself on all you need to consider before purchasing a new machine. 

We’ve accumulated a vast amount of knowledge during our almost 40 years in the printer/copier industry, and thus, have become intimately familiar with all that goes into finding the perfect printer. 

How can you tell the differences between two printers? Are there really any? 

Besides the appearance and logo on the machine, there may not be obvious differences between a printer from this brand and a printer from that brand. 

When you dig underneath the surface though, there are quite a few differences worth noting between two different-branded printers---beyond just the cost and basic functions of the machines. 

Knowing the differences between two seemingly similar printer models can ultimately make your purchasing decision for you. But to get to that decision, you need access to the right information.   

It’s the start of 2023, and supply chain disruptions are still affecting businesses across the country. 

Our industry is not exempt; the shipment of printing supplies is still being delayed, which means the products you’re supposed to have delivered in a timely manner might be coming in later than usual.  

This means you need to be more attentive to the amount of supplies you have on hand. Relying solely on automatic shipments of toner, which is the only supply item that’s monitored for automatic shipment, will likely mean that you will be without your needed supplies as supply chains are still disrupted. 

If you’ve had a problem with your TV or phone that you couldn’t seem to figure out, what did you do? 

More than likely, you contacted someone for help, and that “someone” was probably a support agent from the brand of device you have. 

Xerox, the printer brand we partner with, has a similar infrastructure in place for remote support called Xerox Support Services, and it’s important that you understand the pros and cons of using it. 

While it is useful to resolve minor issues, trying to solve any type of major issues with your printer over the phone can result in frustration and wasted time.
