While it’s true that many organisations are transitioning from paper to digital workflows, print is far from irrelevant. If your company is looking for a professional print solution that also saves time and money, look no further than the versatile multifunction printer, or MFP. Here’s where to begin your search.
ASSESS YOUR NEEDS
The latest MFP technology offers some impressive capabilities. Let’s begin with paper size.
An A4 MFP enough for your needs, but there are other considerations. An A3 multifunction system can help you produce drawings with greater detail and complicated spreadsheets and graphs that are clearer and easier on the eyes, so it’s well worth the price difference. If space is a concern, not to worry; the industry has developed A3 MFP solutions that don’t take up a lot of room.
After you’ve decided on paper size, you’ll want to consider some other features.
- Colour MFP or Mono MFP
- Collating
- Folding
- Multi-position stapling
- Hole-punching
- Saddle-stitching
- Booklet making
- High impact colour printing
- Paperless document routing
- Speed
- Paper Capacity
- Paper Types
TALK TO YOUR EMPLOYEES
Your employees can provide valuable insight to help you choose the perfect multifunction system, so be sure to spend some time discussing their requirements. Here are some questions to get the conversation started:
Would a centralized MFP save you a significant number of steps each day?
Do you frequently resort to outsourcing for specific document printing requirements?
MFP technology can allow you to bypass printing in favor of digital workflows. Is this something that would make your job easier?
How many A3 and A4 documents do you typically print in a week’s / month’s time?
Is your department required to meet security mandates? Would a multifunction system with the latest security protocols help you address these requirements?
Some MFP capabilities can contribute to reducing paper waste. Would your team appreciate MFP technologies that could help your department go green?
