Supplies & Maintenance

Page coverage, which is the amount of toner or ink on a page, is one of the most important things you can learn about your printer/copier.  

It is a huge determinator of how much you will spend on printer cartridges throughout the lifespan of your machine.  

But, in all honesty, it’s a confusing concept for most to understand. However, the importance of page coverage cannot be overstated. 

That’s why we want to use our expertise to tackle the topic of page coverage in a simple and easily digestible way. 

Because after almost 40 years in the printer/copier industry, we’ve accrued the knowledge to break down what page coverage is and why it plays such a central role in your printing costs. 

If you’ve decided to lease a printer from a vendor and are formulating your contract, you will likely hear some iteration of this question at some point: “Would you like to have impressions included, and if so, how many?”  

It’s probable, if you’re like most customers, that you are unfamiliar with what impressions included mean in a contract or lease agreement and how important they are.    

This is precisely the reason we want to use our experience as a long-time local print vendor to help you understand what impressions included mean and why it’s critical to include the right amount in your contract.    

Because including the wrong number of impressions has financial consequences and could lead to a more stressful situation if an adequate solution is not found.  

On average, color prints cost between $0.07-$0.30 per print, a seemingly minuscule price that any business could bear.  

But what happens when you consistently print in color, and the costs add up faster than you realized?  

You’re left with a high printing bill and a puzzled look because you didn’t recognize how much color printing costs could run up your monthly print invoice.   

As a print vendor with noted experience finding and dissecting customers’ print problems, we know how common it is for color overages to contribute to higher-than-normal print expenses.    

Xerox, the company we partner with, has a standard feature that can be enabled on most of their devices called color tracking which could serve as a remedy for businesses that need to get a hold of their color printing costs.    

In a society that’s increasingly reliant on technology to conduct daily business tasks, the risk of a cyberattack has never been greater.  

You may think to yourself, “Yeah, but what does that have to do with my printer? I mean, it just, prints?”  

This is the type of thinking that could get you in trouble.  

Believe it or not, printer cyberattacks have become more common, and being proactive about the security of confidential documents is only increasing in importance.  

Because we’ve been in the printing industry for over 35 years, we have seen firsthand how cyberattacks can affect a business, and we want to help inform you of the measures you can take to avoid compromising delicate information.  

Because we partner with Xerox, we’ll be leaning on our experience with their products to conduct this guide to help you become aware and actionable on the issue of cybersecurity. 

Buying copier/printer toner can be confusing. Most boxes look the same, there are so many different types, and it’s hard to keep track of when you’re running low, leaving you with an empty cartridge in the middle of a workday.  

After being in the copier/printer industry for over 35 years, we’ve seen all of the different problems and mistakes that can be made when it comes to buying toner- and we’ve seen the best ways to ensure your organization will have exactly what it needs.  

Deciding whether or not to sign a maintenance agreement can be a big decision for some businesses, but having toner automatically shipped straight to your door is oftentimes the biggest deciding factor. We’ve written this article to help you figure out if auto-toner shipments make sense for your printing needs, or if you’d rather just go out and buy your own toner.
