Desktop printers can come in different sizes and even shapes. Each manufacturer has a line of both commercial and home use types. There are color, black and white only, multi-function, and fax-capable printers.
Having so many options can wreak havoc in an office. Suzy from accounting may buy an inexpensive HP color printer and Tre' from HR has a Dell MFP. You now have machines that take two different supplies and parts. That adds another job to your plate.
An assessment is done to see what is currently on site and the associated cost. There can be options to implement cost-saving measures; such as duplex printing or moving devices. A monitoring software is installed on a cloud or on-premise server to then monitor all the printers. It will alert when the toner is low or any service issues. This proactive approach helps prevent downtime and ensures devices are always operational. No need for an IT team member or upper management to worry about supplies and issues.
The world of desktop printers is diverse, offering a wide array of options in terms of size, function, and brand. While this variety can cater to individual preferences, it can also introduce complexities and inefficiencies into an office environment.

By taking a proactive approach, you can simplify your office's print environment, reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and free up valuable resources to focus on what truly matters - your core business objectives.
