ESTIMATED READING TIME: 3 MINUTES
There is no denying that your office equipment is a major investment when it comes to office functionality. So when you are putting that much money into your devices, you want the best ROI you can get. So, how can you get the most out of your MFP? We’re glad you asked…
Say goodbye to ink jet devices
Yes, ink jet devices are far less expensive than laser printers and you get what you pay for. So it’s time to stop considering ink jet printers for your office, bite the bullet and invest in a laser printer. They reliably print quickly and clearly and, despite the high cost of cartridges, provide a better ROI than their ink jet cousins. You will be replacing laser printer cartridges far less often than you do ink cartridges and will be much happier with your prints.
No more colour prints
Is it really necessary to print everything from emails to estimates in colour? Is it really that important? Unless you are a design or graphics business, we’re going to guess that answer is no. Save on the cost of colour cartridges by only printing in colour when it is truly a necessity. A colour print to send to a client? Go for it. A copy of a document for your files? Probably not. On top of saving money, black and white printing is faster and speed is often a top consideration in choosing a printer.
Wireless is the way
Always invest in a wireless printer, which is pretty standard now. Wireless printers are so easy to set up and can be found anywhere on your network without too much effort and configuration, so why not? With so many people working from lap tops and tablets, the ability to print wirelessly in the office is integral. No one wants to have to transfer files just for a quick print task.
Cloud printing is key
Don’t forget that cloud computing is growing in popularity and now printers are cloud compatible. That means that when anyone on your team is out and about, calling on clients or at a conference, it is possible to print in the office. That’s right, from anywhere. It is no longer a struggle to stay connected with employees working from remote locations, all they need is a smart phone.
