Amazon is the go-to shopping destination for millions of people, including those in the market for a new printer. But just because it's fast and convenient doesn’t mean it’s the best option for every business or professional need.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we've spent nearly 40 years helping businesses and organizations find the right print solution for their unique needs. And while we understand Amazon's appeal, this blog will give you a clear comparison between Amazon and STPT, so you can make the most informed decision possible.

We’ll break down:

You're about to make a big decision for your business by investing in a printer from a printing vendor. With so many options available, it can feel overwhelming. You want to make the right choice that fits your budget, operational needs, and future growth plans. But knowing where to start is hard.  

If you're new to the printing world, it can be even more challenging.

One way to determine if a printing vendor is right for you is by asking them the right questions. But what are the most important questions to ask?

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we've got your back. For over 35 years, we've been helping our customers navigate the complex world of printing technology. Today, we're sharing the top 10 questions you should ask your printing vendor to make an informed and confident decision.

Arguably, no metric is more important to know before purchasing a printer than how much it can print or copy in a month.

When researching a machine's specifications, you'll likely see two categories involving the volume of prints a printer can make: the monthly duty cycle and the recommended monthly print volume. 

There is a major difference between both metrics of printer performance, and not knowing it could have costly consequences. 

As a local print vendor for over 35 years, we've seen how negligent printing and copying can damage printers and lead to costly repairs that hurt the bank.

Have you ever struggled to get printing supplies, like toner or ink, for your printer?  

If you have, then you understand that reordering printing supplies are a hassle. Most of the time, you don’t even know you’re running low until you’re completely out and navigating the toner aisle at the nearest office equipment store can be intimidating or sometimes even impossible.   

Xerox has a program, called eConcierge, that is designed to take the guesswork out of measuring supply levels, assisting you in reordering supplies and providing you with a resource for free service calls as you desire. 

There are not many things more important to owning a printer/copier than having a solution for printer service. 

Why? Because obtaining service for your printer when you desperately need it can be costly and hard to come by. 

Believe it or not, printers are not so different from the car you drive every day. They are complex machines, especially at the advanced level, that require proper care and maintenance.  

If you use your printer frequently, service issues—especially as your machine ages--- will occur. That’s why it’s crucial to have a solution for service in place before an issue arises.
