Having a printer service contract and having a print strategy are two very different things. 🖨️

A traditional service contract can help keep your equipment running but Managed Print Services takes a much broader look at your entire print environment.

From cost control and toner management to device monitoring, security, fleet optimization and ongoing support, the right approach can make a major difference in how efficiently your business operates.

In our latest article, we break down Managed Print Services vs. traditional printer service contracts and explain what businesses should consider when deciding which level of support is right for them.

If you're wondering whether your current printer agreement is actually helping you manage your print environment or simply fixing equipment when something goes wrong this one's worth a read.

Most businesses have no idea how much they're actually spending on document shredding... or what they're paying for.

One of the questions we hear most often is:
"How much does professional shredding cost?"

The answer depends on more than just the number of boxes.
Factors like one-time vs. recurring service, mobile vs. off-site shredding, document volume, and security requirements all play a role in determining the right solution for your business.

What many organizations don't realize is that choosing a shredding provider isn't just about finding the lowest price it's about protecting confidential information, maintaining compliance, and partnering with a company you can trust.

If you've ever wondered what impacts shredding costs (or whether your current process is the most cost-effective), we've put together a comprehensive guide that breaks it all down.

At the end of a copier lease, most businesses ask the wrong question.

"Should we buy it or renew the lease?"

The better question is: "Is this still the right print environment for our business?"

Your business has likely changed since that lease began. Your print volume, security needs, workflows, and technology requirements may all look different today than they did five years ago.

Before making another long-term commitment, it's worth evaluating more than just the monthly payment.

In our latest blog, we break down:
✔️ When a copier lease buyout makes sense
✔️ When renewing or upgrading is the smarter investment
✔️ How Managed Print Services can reduce long-term operating costs
✔️ The questions every business should ask before signing another lease

If your copier lease is coming to an end, this guide can help you make a more informed decision.
