Owning or leasing a Xerox copier/printer is a strategic decision that is sure to increase productivity and workflow in your office. However, if you’re having difficulty using all the features, it could impact your office productivity.

Training is provided in copier purchases at the time of delivery or shortly after. However, you might find that you need additional training in the future or for other employees. We have three resources that can help guide you through your questions and MFP needs. 

Xerox Introduces “Everyday Toner” for Major Printer Brands

Submitted by Michaela McMellan on

Toner is an essential part of owning a copier/printer. No matter the reason for purchase (personal, business, school), you’re going to need to purchase toner, which can be expensive.  

The toner industry has historically made you choose between affordable or quality toner. 

If you opt for high-quality OEM (original equipment manufacturer) toner, which most businesses need, the price can add up. 

However, opting for inexpensive drill and fill toners lead to ink spills, hazardous materials, and repeated service repairs. 

Luckily, Xerox has introduced a newly manufactured toner called “Everyday Toner” to the market that’s available for most name-brand copiers/printers.

Cheaper toner often uses banned or hazardous materials such as plastic to cut costs. These toxins can cause problems for the machine and the users. 

To prevent copier/printer owners from making this mistake, this article breaks down the four different types of toners and which one is best for your home or business printing needs.
