When it comes time to beef up your printer fleet, you have a lot of decisions to make. Here's what to know about the multifunction printer buying process and how to end up with machines that fit your unique needs.
Why Choose a Multifunction Printer?
First things first: Why choose a multifunction printer over a single-function device?
The simple truth is that, when it comes to printer functions, less isn't more; in fact, more is more. That's because single-function devices each represent a large investment--not just from their initial purchase price but also in consumables, maintenance, repairs, and more. A multifunction printer, on the other hand, is just one machine that can do a little bit of everything.
When you think about the future of your fleet, you probably imagine efficiency, flexibility, simplicity, and budget-friendliness--and to get all those things from a single machine, you need a multifunction printer.
Before You Buy Your Multifunction Printer
Ready to choose a multifunction printer for your fleet? Here are a few questions to ask before making your purchase:
"What's the total cost?"
Remember, you're paying more than just the price on the tag. You also need to think about how much it costs to power the printer, buy supplies and keep up with regular maintenance. In this case, a higher upfront cost often means less money spent on future issues.
"What does the machine actually do?"
Not all multifunction printers are created equal. Make sure you choose a device that scans, faxes, prints, and copies--and don't forget to check out other features such as finishing options and additional security.
"Is this what we need?"
Think about both your current and future needs when buying your multifunction printer. Is it easy to use? Can it integrate with the cloud and other applications or software solutions? Does it work well with your network and other devices? If you can answer yes to all these questions, it might be time to buy.
In conclusion, a multifunction printer has plenty to offer your business--but only if you choose the right one for your needs.
