Printing

Multifunction systems offer the benefit of greater productivity with a lower cost over most laser printers. Multifunction systems print documents of varying size, with print volume adjusted to your needs. These systems also have time-saving finishing options not always available in ink-jet or laser printers like three-hole punching, stapling and booklet making.

Some of the key benefits or printing to the multifunction systems we provide are:

Lower Operating Costs
Most multifunction systems feature significantly lower operating costs compared to most ink-jet and laser printers. Often the cartridge-based system of a laser printer will include proprietary technology that creates a greater cost for replacing toner and parts. Higher-end multifunction devices utilize independent toner cartridges and highly durable replacement parts that can substantially reduce the total cost of operation.

High Performance Output
Business operates today at a much faster pace than ever before. As a result, requiring your employees to wait for the output of any document can significantly hamper your office’s productivity. Multifunction devices are designed to be scalable to include greater speeds and quality for both color and black & white output thus increasing your operational efficiency.

Unique Finishing Features
Most ink-jet and laser printers lack production level finishing options. This lack of production capability necessitates offline finishing which can decrease overall operational efficiency. Multifunction devices allow for the addition of production quality finishers that can offer such finishing options as offset stacking, multi-position stapling, booklet making, online bindery options and three-hole punching.

Multifunction Systems Versus Printers
As with anything, there is a right tool for the job. Laser printers are ideally suited for small printing applications and low volume. Choosing a multifunction system over a printer requires understanding when it is the right tool. For very small print volumes over a long period of time, the higher toner and maintenance costs of a laser printer may be the right choice. More often than not, however, the low toner and maintenance costs of a multi-unction system will provide greater value for mid- to high-end printing applications. Because a multifunction system offers copying, printing scanning and faxing it can provide a greater value to your employees than a simple ink-jet or laser printer.

What About Color?
Today’s world works in color. Users that create content on their color monitors expect it to be viewed in color, increasing demand for color paper and electronic documents. Our multifunction systems provide advanced color features that allow for greater use of what color was meant for.
