There are a few notable documents that come with the purchase of a printer, and one of those will extensively lay out everything you need to know about your machine. 

It’s called the Customer Expectation and Installation Guide, and it is a crucial document to look over before delivery and installation day.     

What is the CEIG? Why is it important? Do I need to sign and send it back? 

These questions will be addressed in this blog, so you’re better informed on what role the CEIG plays in the pre-delivery process.     

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.    

Hospitals serve one of the most important functions in society, which means they need the finances to be able to aid the people that need them the most.    

It might not be the first thing that comes to your mind when deciding how to clean up your hospital’s budget, but because hospitals require a significant print volume and usually have a surplus of machines on hand, printing-related expenses can run into the thousands every month.  

As a business, you’re always trying to find ways to better your budget.   

After all, a successful business can only stay successful so long as they're making a profit, right?   

One of the ways to cut back on your business’s expenses is to incorporate a managed print service for your fleet of printers/copiers.      

This is especially pertinent for businesses that are large and have a plethora of machines to manage on a daily basis.      

There is a general assumption that buying any type of printer will suffice if it’s running and looks the part.    

Printers/copiers are looked at as an afterthought necessity rather than an investment. This is especially the case with larger multifunction printer options.    

Higher-end multifunction printers can cost upwards of $10,000, and if you don’t get the exact model you need, it can cost you more than double in the long run because of service issues and your eventual need to buy the right machine that you should’ve bought in the first place.
