Do you find that your color printer is guzzling down ink or toner and you’re not quite sure exactly where it’s going? One important fact that you may not know is that no matter whether you are printing only black and white or color images, your printer is likely drawing from both the black and color cartridges for every job you print. Unless you are printing color every time, this is not very cost effective for you, but what is the solution?
Many offices, particularly smaller ones, opt for owning a single, multi-function color printer for all their printing needs. However, what you think is a more affordable choice, really is costing you much more in the long run. If your office produces primarily black and white prints like letters, invoices or reports, the best solution is to add a quality multifunction monochrome laser printer to your office line up. Using the monochrome printer for regular, every day black and white print jobs and reserving the color printer for only those instances when you need to print with color will, page for page, cost your company considerably less. Monochrome laser printers also offer a faster print speed than almost any inkjet printer and offer the best looking text.
Monochrome laser printers, though sometimes more of an investment up front can offer you a much more affordable replacement cartridge that will, depending on the load you place on it, last you sometimes as much as 5 to 10 times longer than color replacement cartridges. If you replace your monochrome laser toner cartridge with one of our compatible or remanufactured cartridges, you could save up to 50% off the cost of your toner each time you buy. Considering the difference in cost between monochrome and color cartridges, this could mean a difference of hundreds of dollars annually to your bottom line!
Are you unsure which printers might be the best choice for your office? Simple push button printers are a thing of the past. Today machines come with so many bells and whistles that deciding which features will work best for you can be an overwhelming and sometimes complicated task. The best thing to do is to first figure out collectively what features in a printer are priorities for your office. Do you need a machine that will print each job quickly with a short load time? Is being able to send and receive faxes a necessity? What about the ability to print two sided pages with a duplexing option? These days, most printers come with features like networking and wireless capability as a standard. So, options like paper tray size and expandability, physical size, print speed and multi-functionality are the features that will be the deciding factors to your next printer purchase.
