Printers can feel like a reliable employee, waiting patiently in power save mode until you need them. However, an old printer can be costing you far more than you realise including lost staff productivity, higher energy bills, higher maintenance and repair bills as well as frustrating delays when they break down. Also many older devices are targeted by hackers so can be a key point of weakness for your organisation. With cybersecurity on the rise, can you afford to keep an old printer?
So when should you replace your printer? In our experience the answer is at least every 5 years and sometimes more frequently depending on your needs.
Most of us might think that printers have changed little in recent years. But, like many devices, the technology has advanced considerably. Bought a TV recently? They are now cheaper and more energy efficient than ever with far more features such as internet connectivity. The same has happened to printers – they are now Multi-Function Devices that can print, copy, scan and file documents. They have clever features built-in, from advanced security to print management that gives you more visibility and control of what is being printed than ever before. As a result, they can be an integral part of your organisation’s Digital Transformation. All of this at surprisingly low costs, especially when you think about the full running costs, not just the initial price tag. As a result today’s best printers offer far greater value for money than ever before.
