Whether you are setting up a new office or upgrading your existing office equipment, choosing the right office photocopier is not only important to ensure the smooth operation of your business but it’s also important for your budget. 

When looking for a printer for your business, you will likely come across two types of printers – a laser printer and an inkjet. Laser printers use a laser to add copy to paper, while an inkjet printer produces copies by spraying ink onto the paper.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work has become hugely popular for businesses in Ontario and across the world. In fact, in March 2021 around five million Canadian employees were working remotely - accounting for over 30 percent of the Canadian workforce.

When looking for an office photocopier, many businesses are tempted to buy a used copier. 

Is your Toronto, or Ontario-based, business looking to invest in a new photocopier solution this year? If so, you’re probably looking for the best photocopier that your budget will allow you to buy.

But there are some important considerations that will impact which photocopier you choose, including whether it’s best for you to lease or purchase outright, what capabilities your business needs and what volume of copying you require.

The workplace is constantly evolving and changing. New technologies are continuing to surface to help fulfill the latest business requirements. It’s hard to keep up! One way to stay on top of things is to focus on tech trends that drive innovation. So, what are the current trends in office administrative technology that you should be keeping an eye out for? 

Good communication is the foundation of your company, and an absolute must for any successful business. Whether it’s customers communicating with your customer service team or the internal communication channels your employees use to collaborate, the technology you use to communicate could make or break your organization.

The basics of photocopying are simple. You load a document, push copy and out of the photocopier comes multiple copies. But there’s so much more a photocopier can do for your business, which is why you shouldn’t just grab the first well-priced model you find.

Short of the printer breaking down and no longer working, many businesses will keep using their old printer, regardless of age or the sounds it makes. Printers, copiers and scanners are the poster child for “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. 

When it comes to choosing the right printer for your business office, there’s certainly no one-size-fits all. And while the purchase of a new printer may seem insignificant on the surface, it’s an expensive buy that has long-term ramifications for your bottom line.
