Multifunction Printers and Copiers

Copy, print, scan and fax…
all with a single machine!

Businesses need to do more with less these days. Despite the transformation from analog to digital, and the transformation from offline to online, documents still form a major part of the backbone for most businesses.

Many of us still print and copy documents to:

  • Collaborate on the latest ideas
  • Create marketing collateral
  • Place purchase orders
  • Invoice customers
  • Run operations
  • Generate work instructions
  • Prepare shipping documents

The list goes on and on. While having single function machines can be useful in specific departments or job functions, multifunction printers can help eliminate clutter, redundancies, and inefficiencies in many cases.

A multifunction printer (MFP) is a highly versatile, “all-in-one” machine, offering an unprecedented combination of high-speed productivity, spectacular image quality, and proven reliability with cost-effective operation. As your office technology partner, we offer an impressive selection of the latest multifunction print/copy technology to meet all the document demands of your business.

THE RIGHT
MFP CAN:

  • Increase the amount of available floor-space
  • Integrate to software and applications
  • Improve efficiency by completing multiple tasks at once
  • Reduce overall costs

WHILE THE
WRONG CAN:

  • Create bottlenecks
  • Lead to service issues (e.g. the unit isn’t built to support print volumes)
  • Add to environmental waste
  • Create maintenance costs that exceed the initial cost of purchase

Data Collection, Consultant Support and Training 

When it comes to your printing requirements, having the optimal mix of printers and copiers is essential to effectively run your business and minimize your recurring costs. It’s not just a printer and it’s definitely not just a copier!

We both sell and lease multifunction copiers, laser printers, inkjet printers, and even wide-format printers.

Here’s how we start our assessment process:

Step 1. Consultation. Our consultants can help analyze your present and future needs and will assess your current devices and print needs.

We’ll review information such as:

  • How many pages do you print a month?
  • What finishing capabilities do you need? (e.g. Stapling, Booklet Makers, etc.)
  • What paper sizes are you printing on? (A3 v A4)
  • Do you need a fax line or fax cloud application?
  • Do you have any monthly, quarterly, or annual printing spikes?
  • How much of your printing needs to be in color?
  • Did you know color printing can be up to 10x more expensive per page than mono?
  • What print controls are you currently using or could you start using to reduce cost and waste?
  • Do you have to follow any printing regulations such as HIPAA?
  • Do you have mobile workers that need to print and copy?
  • Would you like to reduce the amount you print and improve your office efficiency?

Step 2. Data Collection Installation. After the initial consultation and installing our data collection agent (DCA) on your network, we perform a print assessment and start to make recommendations for your optimal setup and budgeting for recurring costs.

Step 3. Review. Our data collection agent will review all facets of your business’ current workflow and device set-up, and review critical information such as:

  • Lease vs. Buy
  • New vs. Refurbished
  • OEM Supplies vs. Aftermarket
  • Document Management Systems

Step 4. Training and Support. Once our experts match you with the perfect system, we’ll train your staff on how to maximize all the features/tools you need to be productive.
