uniFLOW Online Universal Output Que helps to reduce the number of printer drivers that organizations must manage within their print environments, by enabling direct printing to compatible devices without the need to install device-specific drivers.

Printer Driver deployment can be a real pain for IT.  Whether it’s new staff expecting printing to “just work” upon arrival, a staff that uses an absolute hodgepodge of devices (Windows laptops, MacBook, Chromebooks… on and on), a driver that inexplicably “breaks,” or simply identifying the right driver for the right device…it can cause some serious headaches for those tasked with managing it. After all, it’s not like IT teams don’t have other things they could be doing.

What are the copier security “must haves?”  Here are 10 features and capabilities we feel should be heavily considered.

Your copier can easily be considered just another device (albeit a critical one) on your network. So, in an office environment, where sensitive information is printed, shared, and stored, security on this device should be a top priority to reduce security risk.

The goal of right-sizing the print fleet is to eliminate unnecessary or underutilized printers while ensuring that there are enough devices strategically placed to meet the printing demands of the organization.

Not unlike searching for the "right person, right job," at your office, your copiers and printers should be the "right size, right volume, right application" if you're going to run at peak productivity.

We'll share three tangible ways your organization can benefit from a Print Management engagement. 

There’s this old joke about professional consultants.

To help better understand the steps and the benefits of a technology assessment, let’s break it down into five steps. 

The word “assessment” gets thrown around a lot at the start line of many business technology engagements — sometimes striking a few objections in the minds of the parties being “assessed.”

For many businesses, the upfront costs may seem more than reasonable, but the long-term consumable costs combined with overall durability can make these purchases reasonably short-sighted.

During the onset of COVID-19, amid your rush to set up a home office, it probably didn't take long for the question to arise: “How am I going to print?” Maybe you went online, only to discover that there are thousands of non-business grade printer options at any number of “box store” retailers.

Follow these three simple steps to begin recycling your old cartridges and making a valuable positive impact on our environment.

If you’re like most organizations we know, you go through A LOT of toner.

Just as reference: Datamax ships out an average of 5,046 consumables per month. That can account for A LOT of waste. According to Evolve Recycling, a laser cartridge thrown into landfill can take up to 450 years to decompose. As organizations continue to create initiatives to lessen their impact on the environment, recycling your toner cartridges is a wonderful way to keep non-renewable resources from ending up in landfills.

By taking a hard look at several print variables, and comparing the numbers, you can potentially cut costs considerably with a single Multi-Function device.

Ever heard of the Razor and Blades Business Model?
