Office Equipment

One of the most common laptops for modern-day consumers is the Google Chromebook due to its affordability and simplicity. 

Students and teachers acclaim Chromebooks for their basic functionality, especially in the educational environment. These computers also function as a personal laptop for work or entertainment.     

As a long-time local print vendor, we monitor printing trends and the technology consumers use to print, scan, and copy their documents. 

Since Chromebooks have become a popular option for consumers, we wanted to dive in and answer the most pressing questions surrounding Chromebooks and printing.  

Can you print from a Chromebook? If so, how do you do it? Is it safe to do so?    

In this blog, we will use our industry insight to answer these questions and provide the information you need to start printing from a Chromebook in no time.

 Managed print services offer many benefits to businesses, but where do you find a quality managed print provider? 

If you’re in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, there are a lot of options to choose from, and it can be difficult to narrow down the provider you want to use.  

As a local print vendor that also offers managed print services to consumers, it’s our job to keep track of the competition and note the companies you have to choose from while searching for a provider to implement managed print into your business. 

So, in that vein, we will be highlighting five different companies in the Metroplex that have a history of success in the managed print services field.  

These companies are listed in no particular order, and we can’t guarantee that they are the best in the DFW area. To maintain neutrality, we will also be exempting ourselves from this list. 

When it comes to printer supplies, one unsung hero deserves our attention: toner. It’s the magical powder that transforms digital data into crisp text and vivid images on paper. But when your toner is running low, your printer will not hesitate to sound the alarm.

Picture this: you’re racing against time to finish that important print job, only to realize that your toner needs replacing. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

But fear not—Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT) is here to guide you through this essential process. With years of experience servicing printers, STPT has encountered and resolved toner-related issues countless times, ensuring optimal printer performance for its clients.

Do you ever feel frustrated when your printer suddenly stops working, only to discover it's a simple maintenance issue like replacing the waste toner bottle? If you've been there, you're not alone. In today's digital age, printers are indispensable tools that require regular care to function optimally.

A waste toner bottle plays a vital role in your printer's functionality. As your printer produces documents, it generates toner waste, which needs a dedicated container for disposal. Over time, this container fills up, affecting print quality and potentially causing internal damage if not replaced promptly.

Signs that your waste toner bottle needs replacing include faded prints, streaks on paper, or error messages indicating a full waste toner container.

Computers are an essential part of printing and work.

For the last forty years, computers and printers have been two key office fixtures that people depend on for vital data exchange.

At STPT, our expertise is in printers and Xerox office equipment. But, our time in the business has also taught us a thing or two about computers and their maintenance. Printers connect to your computer's network, so our STPT printer experts must have advanced computer technology knowledge to ensure your printer stays running.

However, all technology is prone to error and requires constant maintenance to continue functioning at a high level.

If you don't put the effort in now to keep your computer running smoothly, then you'll likely have to pay for that lack of effort later with steep replacement costs and extra maintenance fees.
