Printer Fleet Management

Xerox Workflow Central is a versatile, cloud-based, platform built for modern workgroups in the digital space. 

Is it the right fit for you, though? 

As a Xerox Platinum Solutions Partner, it is our job to stay on top of the different features offered by the brand that can help you achieve a better overall print environment. 

One of those is the Xerox Workflow Central platform which can be found in the Xerox App Gallery. It has plenty of benefits, but also some notable cons, including the fact that you must pay a monthly subscription for its features.  

What is the most important thing to consider when buying a new printer/copier? 

It actually has nothing to do with the look of the machine, the feel of it or how fast it prints. The answer lies in how much it can safely print per month, or its recommended monthly print volume.  

The recommended monthly print volume of a machine is the essential indicator you need to pay close attention to before buying a new office machine. 

But the question becomes: How do you figure out your current, or estimated, monthly print volume so that you can buy a machine that can rightly accommodate it? 

Did you know that some printers/copiers can range from $1,000-$100,000? 

That makes it all the more significant that you get the right office machine in place for your company the first time around. Because wasting money on an insufficient machine can be significantly costly and frustrating.  

The number one thing you can do to make sure you get the right printer in place for your company is to educate yourself on all you need to consider before purchasing a new machine. 

We’ve accumulated a vast amount of knowledge during our almost 40 years in the printer/copier industry, and thus, have become intimately familiar with all that goes into finding the perfect printer. 

The workplace has become more technologically advanced with time, which has increased the efficiency of office technology in automating tasks that would customarily be completed manually.  

But there is a mechanism that print providers use to execute tasks like automatically shipping your toner at the right time or ensuring you have the latest firmware update for your device.  

It involves having your printers online, or in this case, connected to a cloud server from your print provider. 

On average, color prints cost between $0.07-$0.30 per print, a seemingly minuscule price that any business could bear.  

But what happens when you consistently print in color, and the costs add up faster than you realized?  

You’re left with a high printing bill and a puzzled look because you didn’t recognize how much color printing costs could run up your monthly print invoice.   

As a print vendor with noted experience finding and dissecting customers’ print problems, we know how common it is for color overages to contribute to higher-than-normal print expenses.
