Have you ever stopped to think about how much paper plays a role in our most important moments?

From love letters to diplomas, wedding invitations to birth certificates, a piece of paper documents life's milestones. 

Although a newly married couple may give little thought to the type of paper their marriage certificate is printed on, for a business, it is crucial to know what kind of paper is needed to print/copy essential documents on.   

Beyond paper size, material, and color, the specific type of printing paper you choose can make a difference in your output. Using the appropriate paper type can prevent paper jams, low-quality prints, and wasted money.

Imagine this: You’ve just printed a batch of reports for an important meeting. They look great, but now comes the tedious task of stapling and organizing each one. What if there was a way to streamline this process, ensuring a professional finish every time?

One of the main ways you can tailor your machine to match your printing requirements is by adding a print finisher.

One company's multifunction printer might be similar to another's in basic function. However, they can differ in the features, accessories, and promotional incentives they offer.
