Pricing & Leasing

We all want our color prints to look sharp, but it can be difficult to figure out which color combinations and printer paper options to use. 

Even when you perform a color printing test before scheduling a large print job, you are still wasting money on ink or toner—and those dollars really add up if your company prints significant amounts of marketing material.

A 2014 student-led study revealed that Chanel No. 5 perfume costs $38 per ounce, while the equivalent amount of Hewlett-Packard printer ink can cost up to $75. 

This means that printer ink is two times more expensive than designer perfume.

The Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted lead times around the world, and according to a recent survey, 57% of companies reported that the pandemic caused serious disruptions to their supply chains. 

As the pandemic ends and life returns to normal, global supply chains continue to reflect many of the shipping and stock issues that began at the height of the pandemic in 2020. 

Although supply chains continue to show improvement, deliveries still may be slow to arrive post pandemic. This can be a major issue for companies and small businesses that need to keep print production fast paced to turn a profit.

We want to make sure you have all the information you need to understand supply chain management and lead time so that you can take the right steps to receive important orders at the right time.

Printer pooling is when multiple printers are linked to share the number of print impressions included in your service contract.

Pooling printers can be beneficial if your company uses many printers because it allows you to consolidate the number of prints included for a billing period into one amount. 

If you own a Xerox printer, then pooling is a valuable option offered that can help prevent overage charges. As a Xerox Platinum Solutions Partner, our goal at STPT is to help you take advantage of billing options like pooling. 

Pooling makes printing easier so that users don’t have to worry about where they can print important documents, and it can significantly decrease the amount of billing paperwork for your company.  

If you’re experiencing issues with your printer/copier, or are looking for a new one, you might feel overwhelmed by the choices and price differences out there. 

Conducting any kind of research process for a new printer will result in a lot of options at price ranges from under $100-to-$100,000.   

The simplest choice is to head to your nearest retail store, be it Staples, Office Depot or Walmart, and pick up a new printer on the cheap.  

Did you know that the average employee prints 34 pages a day? And of those 34 pages, 17% of them go to waste?  

That statistic, courtesy of Offix, is one of the fundamental reasons why you could be overpaying for printing. 

Being that unmanaged printing costs can take up almost 3% of your company’s annual revenue, it is both an area of improvement and an opportunity if you’re looking to save money on your business’s bottom line.
