Office Equipment

As the world continues to go digital, it is vital for businesses to innovate. Falling behind in the digital age means risking obsolescence. In today's work environment, portability and convenience are key, especially for businesses, schools, and offices that need to be travel-friendly. Plus, with the rise of remote and hybrid work environments, its useful to have digital technology that you can use at home and work.

Portable scanners are a convenient solution for professionals on the go. Their compact size means you can carry them around anywhere, allowing you to stay efficient and productive no matter where you are.

At STPT, our scanning experts have been working with scanning technology since it first appeared on the market. We want to use our knowledge to help you make the smartest buying decision. We’ve gathered the top five portable scanners in 2024, focusing on models with the best price, size, and speed for on-the-go users.

As the sun sets on Summer and the 2024-2025 school year draws closer, many schools prepare for the tough month of August. 

Between new school supplies, books, onboarding new teachers, hiring staff, and doing your best to keep schools safe and clean for students, it can be difficult easing back into the busy Fall season.

One of the bigger expenses you may be considering for the upcoming year is office equipment, printers, and scanners for your staff and students. This can be a big hurdle for some schools, especially when you consider how many copier printers you need to keep your school running optimally. 

For example, if you need a copier printer in every classroom, plus one or two large multifunction machines in teachers’ lounges, administrative offices, and some heavy-duty printers for school computer labs, the costs can really add up. That’s why it is best to choose a good printer brand to work with from the get-go. 

MacBooks are increasingly common in most office environments.

While the reasons for this vary, Macs have become so popular because of their usability and efficiency. 

79% of Mac users say they aren’t as efficient with any other computer, and 74% report that they experience fewer issues with their Macs than with other computer brands.

However, as efficient as MacBooks are, finding quality office printers that are compatible and easy to use with Mac OS can be challenging. 

Our print experts at STPT know that deciding on a printer can be difficult, especially when trying to find one that is compatible or easy to use with Mac computers. We’ve compiled this list of options to help you learn about the best printers for Mac computers.

Are you trying to find an office printer for your home or home office? If you are, the number of home printer options on the market can be overwhelming. There are thousands, making it difficult to decide which one to choose. 

No matter the purpose, you need a reliable printer to handle all your printing needs.

Choosing the wrong printer can lead to added frustration, especially if you purchase a printer that can’t reasonably handle how much you print. 

We understand this frustration more than anyone. For over 35 years, STPT has been helping consumers find the right printer that matches their unique needs. We’ll give you the rundown of what makes different machines stand out and provide tips on knowing whether one is right for you.

Before we get into the list, we want to clarify a couple of things.  

​

Imagine you're about to print a batch of marketing brochures for an upcoming event. You've spent countless hours perfecting the design, ensuring every detail reflects your brand's identity. But when you receive the printed brochures, the colors are off, and your carefully chosen hues look nothing like they did on your screen. This scenario is all too common and can be incredibly frustrating. The culprit? A lack of understanding of the CMYK color model.

At STPT, we've encountered this issue numerous times in our nearly 40 years in the printing industry. Many people aren't familiar with CMYK, what it stands for, and its crucial role in printing.
