In any industry, it’s easy to forget that everyone isn’t as intimately familiar with the ins and outs of what you do as you are.

Let’s call it the “curse of expertise.”

We can be as guilty of it as anyone, assuming you know your options when it comes to looking at supplementing or replacing your existing office equipment.

Today, we’ll explain the differences (in non-technical terms) in...

Before reading further, I’d like you to do something.

Take a quick walk around your office and visit each of your printers and copiers. Look in the output trays for uncollected print jobs. Once you’re done, get another cup of coffee and head on back to your desk.

What did you see?

When copiers and printers go down, employees get annoyed and productivity drops, especially in paper-intensive offices.

While Texans do enjoy saying “everything is bigger in Texas,” those wide-open spaces and the sheer size of the state can mean that it takes longer for your copier service technician to reach you (and we don’t allow them to speed!).

Did you know you don’t have to rely on paper documents for your office?

Research shows it takes -- on average -- 18 minutes to retrieve a paper file.

That’s 18 minutes before you can answer your customer’s question. Or, 18 minutes before you can answer your boss’s question. Ultimately, it’s 18 before you can start doing your job.

Anything connected to a network is a potential security risk -- including your copiers and printers.

We’ve discussed this topic recently, read 11 Things About Copier Security You Didn’t Know About.

Fantastic! You've just signed the lowest cost bid for the 10 copiers you've bought (or leased for the next 36 months). You got the "best deal" for your office by playing hardball and making the copier sales guy nearly tear up when you signed the contract.

You've won, right?

While printing copies of your marketing material in black and white are convenient and often a cheaper option than color, you may be putting your business at a disadvantage.

That's because color offers quite a few benefits your business can leverage to drive sales.

While there are a ton of benefits that color brings, I've narrowed it down to the top three advantages. Consider these three...

It's easy to fall into the habit of thinking of your copier (or printer if that's what you call it) is just that – a machine that copies.
