Printing

Multifunction systems provide the benefit of increased productivity with a lower cost over most laser printers. Multifunction systems print documents of varying size, with print volume adapted to your needs. These systems also have time-saving finishing options not always available in ink-jet or laser printers such as three-hole punching, stapling and booklet making.

Some of the key benefits of printing to the multifunction systems we provide are:

Decreased Operating Costs

Most multifunction systems feature significantly lower operating costs compared to most ink-jet and laser printers. Often the cartridge-based system of a laser printer will include proprietary technology that creates a greater cost for replacing toner and parts. Higher-end multifunction devices utilize independent toner cartridges and highly durable replacement parts that can substantially reduce the total cost of operation.

High Performance Production

Business functions today at a much faster pace than ever before. As a result, forcing your employees to wait for the output of any document can significantly impede your office’s productivity. Multifunction devices are designed to increase your operational efficiency through scalability that includes greater speeds and quality for both color and black & white output.

Unique Finishing Features

Most ink-jet and laser printers lack production level finishing options. This lack of production capability necessitates offline finishing which can decrease overall operational efficiency. Multifunction devices add production quality finishers that can offer such finishing options as offset stacking, multi-position stapling, booklet making, online bindery options and three-hole punching.

Multifunction Systems Versus Printers

As with anything, there is a correct tool for the job. Laser printers are ideally suited for low volume and small printing applications. Choosing a multifunction system over a printer requires understanding when it is the right tool. The higher toner and maintenance costs of a laser printer may be the right choice for minimal print volumes over a long period of time. More often, however, the low toner and maintenance costs of a multi-function system will provide greater value for mid- to high-end printing applications. Because a multifunction system offers copying, printing scanning and faxing it can provide a greater value to your employees than a simple ink-jet or laser printer.
