PRINT DOUBLE-SIDED

If you think about it, you can actually reduce your paper consumption by HALF if you make double-sided printing a regular practice in your office. Paper is expensive so that’s no small accomplishment. To cut printing costs, it’s as simple as selecting the double-sided option when you print. You can even make double-sided printing the default in your print driver settings.

 

PRINT IN BLACK & WHITE

And if you have a color machine, you can save big by changing your print default to black and white. You might be surprised to learn that, sometimes when the documents you’re printing appear to be black and white, the black on the page is actually made up of colors. This means that unless you make black & white your default, your color machine could be using yellow, magenta and cyan to make the black color that will appear on the page. Saving yourself the cost of color toner is always a smart idea.

 

Changing the default settings on your Sharp Copier is easy, here’s how (Windows):

Open the Control Panel and go to Devices & Printers (or Printers & Faxes) > right-click the Sharp Device you want to edit > Select Printing preferences > Select the 2-Sided (Book) radio button and check the Black and White Print box (if you have a color printer). Click Apply to store the settings. This will default your print jobs to print double-sided and in black & white to save on toner and paper![/cz_title][cz_gap height=”25px”]

HP, chosen by Buyers Lab analysts as Most Reliable Business Printer & MFP Brand, has an extensive line of business-class printers and MFPs that offer…

[/cz_title][cz_gap height=”25px”][cz_title id=”cz_56853″]In an office environment, printer and MFP reliability is, and should be, the top concern for business users, since a reliable device helps minimize downtime, resulting in improved worker productivity. As such, Buyers Lab’s exhaustive durability testing offers a key benchmark for buyers when making a document imaging equipment purchase decision. To determine the vendors whose product lines stand out above the rest, our highly experienced analyst team has compiled and reviewed performance statistics for every major OEM that submitted devices for laboratory testing from 2012 to 2018.

 

HP has long been known as an industry leader, time and again exceeding our expectations in hands-on evaluations. Therefore, it’s not surprising that, after reviewing the performance of all color and monochrome printers and MFPs tested by Buyers Lab, HP Inc. emerged as the one clear winner of this most prestigious honor.

 

“Reliability matters to business users; it means they can spend less time worrying about the printer and more time being productive,” explained Marlene Orr, Director of Printer & MFP Analysis for Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab. “When it comes to reliability, no other brand we’ve tested even comes close to HP’s performance in our lab. We’ve tested a broad range of HP’s business-class printers and MFPs over the years and nearly every one of them completed testing without a single paper jam. From businessclass inkjets to enterprise-class laser devices, the HP models tested stood head and shoulders above the rest, completing about 3.9 million pages with no failures or service interruptions, making it the clear winner as Most Reliable Business Printer & MFP Brand.” Congratulations to HP on being named Buyers Lab’s Most Reliable Business Printer & MFP Brand![/cz_title]

[cz_image id=”cz_88305″ image=”11182″][/cz_image][cz_gap height=”25px”][cz_title id=”cz_89738″ cz_title=””]When you’re looking for a new printer, whether it be for your office or for your home, you’re going to have to choose between lots of options with varying pros and cons. The first big decision is this: laser or inkjet?

 

Laser Printers

Laser printers are great because they are known for their speed. If you’re a high-quantity printer, you’re probably going to lean towards this option. Plus, laser-printed text is always sharp and clean. And for the eco-friendly purchasers, you’ll even waste less with toner replacements as ink cartridges tend to run out quickly and need frequent replacement.

 

Inkjet Printers

On the other hand, Inkjet printers are great for printing images. Colors blend together better, the machine warms up quickly, and the upfront costs are way lower than those of a laser printer. Your machine will be lightweight and can use any range of paper types, even iron-ons and photo paper. Plus it will have fewer paper jams than a laser printer.

But don’t we all want to have our cake and eat it, too? Sometimes you can’t have the best of both worlds in life. When it comes to printers, however, you can with the HP PageWide Pro 552dw. How so?

 

The Middle Ground: HP PageWide Pro 552dw

It’s a unique breed of an ink-based printer that beats its competition out by a landslide. It’s faster than any inkjet printer and even many laser printers. How does the HP PageWide Pro 552dw do it?

 

Imagine you are painting a wall. You could paint it by yourself, slowly moving from left to right until your whole wall is covered. That could take all day. Or you could fill the room with friends – if you have them all simultaneously paint their portion of the wall, your room will be painted in almost no time!

 

That’s the genius behind PageWide technology. The print head covers the entire width of the paper so instead of having to move from left to right, it can print a whole strip of paper in one instant. This gets you 55 ppm (pages per minute), as opposed to the typical 13-15 ppm for inkjet printers, and 21-42 ppm for laser printers.

 

On top of that, when it comes to ink for this printer, you get more for your money. Sometimes owning an inkjet printer can make you feel like you are practically donating your money because it “runs out” so quickly. But with the HP PageWide technology you’ll get an average 17,000 pages with black ink, and 13,000 pages with color ink. That is almost quadrupling the average for laser jets, which tend to yield more pages than inkjets.

Does Managed Print Services really save businesses money?

Let’s take a look at two businesses. One is on an MPS (Managed Print Services) plan and the other is not. The company without MPS purchases re-manufactured* toner cartridges to save money. Let’s say this toner costs $100, yields 2,500 pages, and the toner on each black & white print covers 5% of the page; they pay 4 cents per page. A black & white print with 20% toner coverage costs them 16 cents! Any maintenance or service required is an additional cost.

 

Meanwhile, the company on the MPS plan doesn’t worry about yields or toner coverage, instead, they pay a flat rate of 2 cents** per black & white page with maintenance and repairs covered at no additional cost.[/cz_title][cz_image id=”cz_95191″ image=”11588″][/cz_image][cz_gap height=”25px”][cz_title id=”cz_97941″ cz_title=””]
