In the midst of the digital technology revolution we are in, the way we handle documents in the office is changing. More and more offices are shifting from paper to digital documentation, and this trend is likely here to stay.

But what does this mean for your office or business? 

It means preserving typical office functions as much as possible while streamlining tasks to focus more on digital data and less on paper storage.

If your office is looking to go paperless, investing in a dedicated scanner may be a smart move. Scanners are not only more environmentally friendly and better suited to modern business needs, but they are also typically smaller and less expensive than printers.

Have you ever stood in the office supply aisle, staring at shelves filled with different types of paper, wondering, “Which one do I actually need?” Maybe you’ve experienced the frustration of loading a new ream of paper into your printer only to end up with smudges, jams, or ink that just doesn’t look right. You’re not alone—choosing the right paper can be confusing, especially when faced with options like copy paper and multipurpose paper.
