5 Major Mistakes You're Making With Your Copier Printer

Submitted by Mary Shamburger on

A copier printer is a lot like a car.

The longer you drive a car, the more likely you’ll have to replace tires, breaks, filters, or engine parts. The more wear and tear you put on an aging car, the more you’ll have to take it in to be serviced.

At a certain point, the amount of service needed to keep your car running may cost more than the car's worth. 

Like a car, a copier printer is a machine. This means that your office copy machine or all in one printer has moveable parts that are worn down over time, especially with extensive use.

4 Reasons Your Office Should Go Paperless

Submitted by Liz Adair on

According to a recent survey, 81% of consumers expect companies to be environmentally conscious. That number of people increases every year, and a great way to show your commitment to environmental sustainability is going paperless in the office.

Going paperless helps support environmental sustainability, and it makes consumers more likely to buy your products. 

As a print vendor who has been in the business for over 35 years, STPT understands how important it is to balance your office’s print needs with concerns for the bottom line and environmental health. 

3 Reasons Your Credit Won't Be Approved for Leasing and What to Do About It

Submitted by Karla Metzler on

You’ve probably been here before.

Your phone is broken, and you need to buy a new one. But buying a new phone costs $1000!

You can’t just walk around without a cell phone, so what do you do?

You probably pay a percentage of the phone upfront, say 10% of the total cost, which is $100. Then, you take the phone home to use.

Wait, did you just walk out of the store with a brand-new phone after only paying a tenth of the phone’s price?

Probably not.What you did was sign an agreement where, after making a small down payment, you pay on credit for the phone.

This means that you will pay a set price per month to use the product until you have paid the full price, $1000, plus interest.

Leasing a printer from a vendor works the same way.

What Is Printer Pooling? (Pros, Cons, Cost)

Submitted by Keith Metzler on

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.

Xerox Versant 4100 Review: Pros, Cons, Cost 

Submitted by Nolan Fowler on

When you’re talking about a mid-production press, like the Xerox Versant 4100, research is paramount before buying.
