Pricing & Leasing

If your organization is searching for a printer, it’s tempting to go with the immediate cheap option. But a printer that looks affordable today gets expensive once you add toner, service, repairs, and the cost of replacing a machine that cannot keep up. On the other hand, buying more printer than your organization needs can leave you paying for speed and features that rarely get used.

Instead of choosing the cheapest printer, find the most cost-effective printer for the work your business actually does. STPT has helped organizations make that distinction for more than 40 years.

The short answer: Choose a business printer by matching its recommended monthly print volume and capabilities to your workload, then compare its total cost of ownership rather than its purchase price alone. Your volume, color needs, paper sizes, scanning requirements, security expectations and service plan should all influence the decision.

Beyond cost, print volume is arguably the most crucial factor in deciding which printer or copier to purchase. Your monthly print volume helps determine whether your printer will be able to handle the amount your office prints each month.

Overusing a printer with too little capacity can lead to more service issues and premature wear. A machine built for far more volume than you need can also cost more than necessary. In both cases, the printer is poorly matched to the workload

Strategic Technology Partners of Texas has spent more than 40 years helping organizations choose and maintain office printers. We have seen how overlooking print volume can lead to avoidable service calls, downtime, and replacement costs.

Have you ever picked up the phone at work and felt unsure whether the person on the other end was actually who they claimed to be?

It’s happening more often than most businesses realize. In fact, Americans receive an average of 9 scam calls per week, and businesses are frequent targets. From our experience, we’ve had customers reach out to us after receiving suspicious toner calls, unsure whether they were legitimate or not. Many of these scam calls are even coming from bots.

Toner scams aren’t new, but they are getting more convincing. And if you don’t know what to look for, they can scam your business out of hundreds or thousands of dollars.

In this guide, we’ll explain how toner scams work and the warning signs to watch for so you can protect your business with confidence.

Finding the right copier/printer vendor is much like choosing a long-term business partner. You want someone who understands your goals, communicates clearly, and supports you long after the paperwork is signed. A copier contract isn’t something you enter lightly. Depending on your print setup, you may be working with that vendor for years. So, it makes sense to step back and ask a simple but important question:

“Are we actually the right fit for each other?”

If only buying a new office printer were as cheap as one might hope.

Unfortunately, a high-quality printer is more expensive than one might think.

This is especially the case when you’re dealing with commercial or production-grade machines. These can easily cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.

If you’ve started shopping and found the machine you need, you’re likely wondering how you’ll pay for it and what your options are.  

Fortunately, you have multiple payment options at your disposal, so you don’t have to take on such a hefty short-term business cost if you don’t have the financial means or desire to do so.   

As print vendors, we’ve worked with customers for over 35 years to help them find not just the right printer, but also the smartest way to pay for it.
