With the world around us constantly changing, and climate change becoming increasingly relevant, Xerox has enacted several different methods towards becoming more sustainable. Through its six main initiatives, several awards and certificates, and commitments and recycling programs, it’s clear Xerox is leading the industry when it comes to sustainability and becoming environmentally friendly. 

The Six Initiatives

Xerox has prioritized sustainability by enacting six specific initiatives:  

1. Carbon Footprint: Xerox is lowering the carbon footprint of its equipment to meet ENERGY STAR requirements and reduce its greenhouse emissions. 

2. Paper: Xerox has designed its paper use, recycled paper, and eco-responsible paper offerings to preserve forests and the environment. 

When printing promotional material for your business, it can be difficult to stand out from the crowd. We all see hundreds of advertisements a day, and our eyes get used to the colors and textures of different visuals.  

One way to elevate your business is by printing in CMYK+. As experienced copier/printer vendors, we know that many customers can be intimidated by a production style machine, or didn’t even think about printing in metallics and fluorescent colors, but we’re here to tell you that not only is it something that can impress you, but it can impress your customers as well.  

What is CMYK+?

CMYK stands for the four colors used by printers to create images: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. CMYK+ takes layering to a new level with a white base layer printed, followed by the color layers. This allows for colors to pop and become more vivid.  

We all know that sometimes things go wrong. Plans change, calls drop, milk spills, and sometimes, copiers break. When copiers/printers malfunction, this can cause a huge halt in business processes and can leave your office struggling to function. 

Luckily, we have a team of specialized service technicians available to assist you with any mishap, and even better, we have a brand-new way of requesting services for your device.   

How Do I Request a Service?

For customers with a maintenance plan, requesting a service call is as easy as visiting our website and clicking on the Request a Service page. Enter some basic information in order for us to find your device records, and then give a brief description of the problems you are experiencing.  

When dealing with contracts and different business initiatives, it’s likely that you will encounter a proposal. Here at STPT, our proposals that we send to customers have several key factors that we find important to highlight and understand. 

What is a Proposal? 

A proposal is an offer from a company that provides you details of the product or service you are looking to acquire. Proposals should be provided to potential buyers after a consultative meeting with a sales representative that has an in-depth knowledge of the product or service they represent. Proposals can be accepted by the potential buyer, or negotiation processes can begin in order to better match the buyer’s needs. 

Different Factors That Go into a Proposal

While proposals have several different components, there are three main factors that should always be present.  

Wanting to save money is one thing that a lot of us have in common. If you’ve noticed that your company has been spending quite a bit on color impressions, and you’re looking through the different methods available to you for tracking and controlling your color usage, then Xerox Color Tracking and Y-Soft SafeQ Print Management are probably some features you’ll be interested in.

Here we’ll break down the key features of each one, list the pros and cons, and help you decide which might be better suited for your company’s needs.  

Xerox Color Tracking

Xerox Color Tracking is one part of a standard feature referred to as Xerox Standard Accounting, that is automatically included when purchasing a Xerox device. It offers several ways for users to track or limit the use of color on their Xerox machines.
