Wide or large format printers are much bigger than standard office printers. They can range in size anywhere from 18" to 100" and support large print jobs, such as printers and banners. WFPs are still computer controlled like traditional office printers, but are better suited for businesses with graphic-specific needs.
What is your idea of productivity? It may seem like a straightforward question, but in reality, "productivity" looks a little different to all of us. Take a moment to imagine the most productive day possible. Is everyone at their desks and working? Are phones ringing nonstop? Are file cabinets overflowing with the info for brand-new customers who just discovered your company today? No matter what productivity looks like to you, there are certain things that must be done in order to achieve that high level of success and efficiency.
What makes your company unique? It's a question that you've likely heard before, asked yourself before, pondered almost-endlessly before--and yet, it's also likely that the answer is still a little unclear. After all, companies, like people, may be unique, but it takes a lot of self-reflection, a touch of trial-and-error, and a fair amount of time before we're sure what exactly it is that defines our uniqueness. In a lot of ways, helping a company grow is like taking part in another one of those self-discovery journeys that most of us undertook in our teen years.
Let's slow down the everyday hustle for a minute and consider the differences between small businesses and their big-name brothers and sisters. Next to the huge companies and corporate goliaths, small businesses seem rather like the children of the business world: they're little, they require special kinds of care and planning, and their potential is practically infinite. Being part of a small business, as being part of a child's life, means being part of something unique, something still close to home and to heart.
In today's world, it's crucial for every company to be up-to-date with technology. Technology can either be the keystone of success or the basis of failure, and the difference depends on whether or not that technology is being used to the extent of its power. All the high-tech gadgets in the world still won't do any good if no one takes the time to understand how to use and apply them. Because of this, it's important to spend some time getting to know your technology--so read the box. Skim the instruction manual.
Everything has a story. Long or short, complex or simple, fascinating or lackluster—stories are all around us, and yet, somehow, we still manage to miss out on so many of them. Are we looking in the wrong places? Certainly we search between the covers of books, and though our literary appetites are appeased, we can't help but feel as though we're still missing something. Movies, songs, tales told around the fire—it's all the same. So where are the stories that are taking place around us, every day, coiling forward right before our eyes?
Although every company is different, they can usually all agree on one thing: they are constantly searching for ways to get ahead in the business landscape. This eternal race means that companies of every shape and size are always on the lookout for a system, service, or technology that will combine productivity with cost-efficiency. In today's world, managed print service providers are quickly becoming the next big thing in business advancement. By now, you've probably heard more than a few things about managed print services.
One of the most popular themes in all of science fiction is the classic "machines in society" story. While these particular tales usually end in an eruption of technological chaos, it is no longer exclusively in sci-fi movies that we see machines as part of our everyday lives. Cell phones are responsible for everything from note-keeping to gaming. Computers interact with us on a complex and productive level. And, in the business world, a unique focus has been placed on printers; clearly, we've come to rely constantly on these machines for everyday tasks.
Let's face it: no matter how much we rely on our phones, computers, tablets, and touch-pads, it will always be printer technology that we turn to at the end of the day. Printers, copiers, scanners, fax machines, and anything else that works with paper--we need these machines to conduct the simplest of everyday tasks. We rely on print technology for communication, file keeping, note taking, and almost everything else that we could do with a piece of paper. As a result, we're all looking for ways to take care of our printers--and that's where a managed print service provider comes in.
