Supplies & Maintenance

No one likes having to replace toner cartridges.

Toner can be messy, expensive, and replacing a cartridge can be time consuming if you’re not a seasoned pro. If you’re having to spend hours of time replacing toner cartridges, then you’re losing out on valuable time and money that could be spent on important work tasks.

Besides, there’s so much information out there about toner that it’s difficult to figure out what kind of toner to buy or how often to replace your toner cartridge after installation.

As Xerox Diamond Authorized Solution Partners, our print experts at STPT are well-versed in printer toner and other print supplies.

In 2020, it was reported that Chromebooks were outselling Macs two to one. 

Although many people assumed the sudden increase in Chromebook sales was directly related to the Covid-19 pandemic, recent research indicates that Chromebooks by Google and the Chrome OS continues to attract consumer interest because of its low price and easy-to-use interface.

Now, more and more small businesses and organizations are turning to Chromebooks as a cheaper alternative to Windows and Macbook computers.

But as more organizations begin to use Chromebooks in the office, the issue of Chromebook printer compatibility has become more important than ever before.

As a print vendor with nearly 40 years of experience, STPT is knowledgeable and dedicated to helping you adapt your workplace to the demands of the 21st century. 

If you’ve decided to lease a printer from a vendor and are formulating your contract, you will likely hear some iteration of this question at some point: “Would you like to have impressions included, and if so, how many?”  

It’s probable, if you’re like most customers, that you are unfamiliar with what impressions included mean in a contract or lease agreement and how important they are.    

This is precisely the reason we want to use our experience as a long-time local print vendor to help you understand what impressions included mean and why it’s critical to include the right amount in your contract.    

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.    

As a locally managed print provider, the number one question we’ve been getting lately is something along the lines of: “Why has this product not come in yet?”  

The answer lies in the ongoing supply chain crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept through most sectors of the business world.  

The printing industry is no different. It’s not just the printers and copiers themselves that now have abnormally long delivery times, but also supplies, such as toner and ink cartridges, drum units and paper that have been significantly impacted by the effects of the supply chain crisis.
