If your medical or legal office often deals with sensitive information, then you probably already know how important it is to redact client documents carefully.

Vital information like social security numbers, financial account numbers, and home addresses need to be redacted, meaning censored or obscured, to legally protect your clients. Failing to do so can lead to fees, legal complications, and, ultimately, a loss of clients and revenue. 

However, manually redacting personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data can take hours. Each piece of sensitive information must be blocked out and hidden, and it is easy to miss something when you’re in a hurry.

Have you ever sent a print job to the office printer, expecting brilliance, only to end up with something that’s, well, just okay? It’s a scenario many of us know too well. The culprit? Office printers simply aren’t designed to produce the same jaw-dropping results as production printers. But don’t worry—that’s not a flaw; it’s by design.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we specialize in both office and production printers. With years of expertise, we’ve helped businesses of all sizes navigate their printing needs. Whether you’re printing basic documents or high-end marketing materials, understanding the key differences between office and production print quality is crucial.

By the end of this article, you’ll know the strengths and weaknesses of each type, the technical factors behind print quality, and how to choose the right solution for your needs.

Though some might consider it old-fashioned, many people still prefer taking notes by hand. Not only is it cheap and easy, but it also boosts your ability to learn and remember information better.

Plus, people who type up their notes often write down more words directly from the source, leading to lower-quality notes on average compared to handwritten ones. According to Resarch.com, people who take notes on their laptops transcribe over 14% of information verbatim, whereas people who write notes by hand only transcribe about 8% verbatim.

​ Have you ever printed a stack of papers, only to realize they all need to be stapled and sorted? Suddenly, your quick print job turns into a tedious task. What if your printer could do that for you?

Print finishing options are the answer. These add-ons boost your printer’s productivity and help you save time. With a print finisher, you can ensure your documents look polished and professional.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we’ve partnered with Xerox for nearly 40 years, helping organizations enhance their workflows with state-of-the-art printing solutions. We understand that the right finishing options can make or break your printing efficiency, especially for schools, offices, or IT departments managing large print volumes.
