Submitted by Nolan Fowler on

When it comes to buying a printer in the thousand-dollar price range, research is paramount.    

Any expensive purchase comes with an ample amount of exploration and evaluation, and printers are no different.    

Buying a machine that turns out to be inadequate can not only be costly from a financial standpoint, but it can cost you valuable time and cut down on daily business operations while you look for a replacement.     

As a locally managed print vendor, we have an extensive background in finding the right machine for printer-seekers, no matter what the situation may entail.    

The fact that we maintain platinum status as a Xerox Agent Channel gives us the credibility to properly review their product catalog and provide you with a comprehensive analysis that you can use to vet out your printer options.

It’s not easy to figure out which printer brand or model to go with if you don’t have a firm understanding of what you’re looking for in a machine.  

This is perhaps doubled in difficulty when talking about production printers, which is what we’ll be covering today.  

Production-style printers meet very specific needs, and the truth is, most consumers will not need to invest in one.   

As a long-time, local print vendor, we’ve gathered the requisite knowledge to know when a production-style machine is necessary and can adequately convey who would be a fit for one.    

We maintain platinum status as a Xerox Agent Channel and are experts in the company’s production product family, which includes the PrimeLink printers that will be the topic of discussion in this blog.     

Is Managed Print Services Right for Your Hospital? (Pros and Cons) 

Submitted by Mary Shamburger on

Hospitals serve one of the most important functions in society, which means they need the finances to be able to aid the people that need them the most.    

It might not be the first thing that comes to your mind when deciding how to clean up your hospital’s budget, but because hospitals require a significant print volume and usually have a surplus of machines on hand, printing-related expenses can run into the thousands every month.  

In our over 35 years as a local print vendor, we’ve seen numerous examples of hospitals who were overspending by 15-20% on print expenditures because they didn’t enact a managed print service to oversee their fleet of machines.    

Is Managed Print Services Right for Your School? (Pros and Cons)  

Submitted by Karla Metzler on

One thing almost all schools have in common is their need for high-volume printing. 

To fulfill their schooling requirements, teachers must print curriculums, assignments and any other documents that encompass the educational environment.  

All this printing and copying comes with a price; a very large price that can unnecessarily contribute to over expenditures on your school’s budget.      

Being in the printer/copier industry for over 35 years, we’ve learned all too well how difficult it is to manage a large printer fleet by yourself. For schools, excess printing costs can contribute thousands of dollars extra to your monthly print invoice.        

Is Managed Print Services Right for Your Business? (Pros and Cons) 

Submitted by Mary Shamburger on

As a business, you’re always trying to find ways to better your budget.   

After all, a successful business can only stay successful so long as they're making a profit, right?   

One of the ways to cut back on your business’s expenses is to incorporate a managed print service for your fleet of printers/copiers.      

This is especially pertinent for businesses that are large and have a plethora of machines to manage on a daily basis.      

As a print vendor for over 35 years, we know how costly it can be to manage a large printer fleet by yourself. It can cost you thousands of dollars in unnecessary expenses every year.

There’s a lot that goes into buying an advanced multifunction printer. 

Like any major purchase, research is paramount. Having access to the right information will significantly decrease your chances of making a pricey mistake. 

That “pricey” mistake is a crucial point, as advanced printers can run into the $10,000-$15,000 price range. If you make an ill-informed purchase that turns out to be inadequate, it could cost your company a considerable sum to replace the wrong machine with the right one.    

That’s precisely why we feel the need to utilize our 35-plus years of experience as a print vendor to provide you with the accurate information you need to avoid that multi-thousand-dollar mistake.  

Xerox AltaLink C8135 Printer Review: Pros, Cons, Cost 

Submitted by Nolan Fowler on

There is a general assumption that buying any type of printer will suffice if it’s running and looks the part.    

Printers/copiers are looked at as an afterthought necessity rather than an investment. This is especially the case with larger multifunction printer options.    

Higher-end multifunction printers can cost upwards of $10,000, and if you don’t get the exact model you need, it can cost you more than double in the long run because of service issues and your eventual need to buy the right machine that you should’ve bought in the first place.  

Costly scenarios like this one play an integral part in why we use our over 35 years of industry knowledge to make informative content that will help prevent crippling mistakes you could make in the purchase of office equipment.  

Xerox VersaLink B7035 Printer Review: Pros, Cons, Cost  

Submitted by Nolan Fowler on

Assessing which printer model to purchase can be more demanding than you would think.  

For example, in the Xerox B7000 Series, how do you know which model to go with: the B7025, B7030 or B7035?   

The differences may seem minimal at first, but there are key distinctions worth noting that you may miss unless you are properly informed on the subject. 

Being a locally managed print vendor who maintains platinum status as a Xerox agent channel has afforded us the ability to compile and share our industry knowledge with you, so you’re not stuck when looking for the machine that most aligns with your printing goals. 

Before getting into this model review, however, it must be stated that Xerox will not be the brand of choice for everyone, nor should it be.

Contrary to popular belief, printers/copiers are complex machines that require tedious research and evaluation.    

Because of their basic functionality, it’s easy to get tricked into thinking that buying any type of printer for your office will suffice and adequately satisfy your printing goals.  

As a local print vendor for over 35 years, we’ve seen this general misconception backfire on customers who were misled by the seeming simplicity of printers and ended up paying more than they would’ve paid if they just bought the right machine in the first place.  

To make the right purchase for your business, you need to be properly educated on what a printer can do for your business.   

Because we sell Xerox products specifically, we’ve gained noted expertise in their product catalog and can accurately formulate a thorough review of its printer models.    

5 Things to Avoid When Buying a Printer/Copier

Submitted by Mary Shamburger on

You may not believe it at first thought but buying a printer for your business is a big investment that should not be taken lightly.

Printer/copier prices can range from the low hundreds to the high thousands, and if you’re not aware of what you need to look for in a machine, you could make a costly purchase that hurts your business rather than helps it.  

We’ve sold office printing equipment for over 35 years now and have seen ill-informed consumers make the wrong purchase too many times because they either didn’t have access to the right information or made a quick purchasing decision with little research conducted.  

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we strive to deliver the objective and unfiltered information you need to know so by the time you’re ready to buy, you’ll know exactly what you’re looking for.
