Having a copier or printer break or go out of service is always a big hassle. It can put a lot of your office processes on hold, and your organization could be wasting valuable time while it gets fixed.  

As experienced Xerox print vendors, we know how tempting it might be to just try and figure the problem out yourself. It can’t be as hard as it seems, right?  

Actually, copiers and printers are very intricate machines. They have a lot of functioning mechanisms inside them and are unlike most other electronic devices. We’ve seen countless people try to fix their own machine, so we’ve compiled the 3 reasons why it just really isn’t a good idea.   

If you’ve ever been a member of or involved with a church, you know they’re busy all year long. There are ceremonies to be held, different classes throughout the week, and special group get-togethers as well. Sometimes there are even camps and retreats. At the majority, if not all these events, there’s almost always something handed out for everyone to read or study along with. 

Being busy all year long means that churches have a lot of things to focus on that don’t involve printing, so they usually turn to outsourcing their print jobs to an offsite print vendor or local print shops, which can become unreliable, and expensive.  

​If your organization is looking into partnering with a print vendor, or if you’re interested in how managed print services could benefit you, then conducting a managed print services study is the next step in the process. Without prior knowledge, however, it can be a confusing process, and the benefits may be unclear.  

As an experienced print vendor, we’ve been conducting managed print services studies for almost 30 years, and we’ve seen the ways that it’s improved office infrastructures and helped cut printing costs down significantly.  

We’ve written this article to give you a better idea of what to expect when undergoing a managed print services study, and so that you can feel prepared and confident you’re getting the best assessment possible.  

Do you know how much your organization is spending on color prints? When was the last time that you took a look at your printing records, or your invoices? 

Printing can become a big cost for businesses that aren’t keeping up with their print volume, and especially color printing. That’s why as an experienced print vendor we recommend all businesses to utilize some form of print management or color tracking.  

What is Color Tracking? 

Color tracking refers to the process of regulating color prints and controlling the costs by using a form of print management. 

Managed Print Services is one of the key benefits you receive when you partner with an experienced print vendor. Tracking printing costs, auto-shipping toner, and keeping invoices organized are just some of the factors that can come with a Managed Print Services agreement, but here at STPT, we go one step further, with our comprehensive solution known as eValet.
