Buying Advice

Buying & Running

Purchase

There are a number of options when choosing a supplier, starting with dealers with specialist product knowledge, high street office equipment suppliers and direct sales from manufacturers. Some manufacturers also supply through dedicated IT sales channels so as the market can be very complex, it usually makes best sense to deal with a specialised supplier.

Speed

Before choosing a machine consider the volume output required. Manufacturers charge more for faster machines which are also generally capable of producing more volume per month i.e. the higher the speed, the higher the volume capability.

What To Look For From The Legal Angle

It is important to make sure you know whom you are contracting with. Most rentals are provided through third party leasing companies which may not be obvious from the documents. The way a body finances its copier purchases usually dictates the contractual position and determines the parties’ legal rights and obligations.

Always Choose Original Consumables

By using original manufactures supplies, you will be guaranteed the best quality, reliability and performance without sacrificing the useful life of your printer. If a lesser-quality consumable is used it can not only impact print quality, but also lead to irreparable system damage. A one-off cheaper purchase can then become an expensive business.

How To Reduce Printing Costs

A huge cost for most organisations is the cost of printing. Paper and especially ink can form a substantial part of an organisations expenses, often running into the thousands of pounds per year.

Printing needs to be kept in check as these costs often spiral out of control, and it is a case of following these simple steps to save your organisation a lot of money.

Mobile Printing

People on the move often need to print email, attachments and documents from their internet enabled laptop, smart phone or PDA, where and when they need them.

Thanks to the many mobile applications available, you no longer have to wait to be ‘back in the office’ to print and share documents.

Cloud or mobile printing works by connecting to a network, wireless or web-enabled printer through a smartphone or tablet, allowing you to print remotely from anywhere in the world, without having to connect directly to a printing device.

Why Is Shredding Important?

One of the best ways to protect yourself from identity fraud is to shred personal information and sensitive documents including bank statements and unwanted direct mail.

Choosing A Shredder

AT Toner Printer Copier we have a huge selection of shredders catering for every requirement, from the desk-side shredder to the high capacity shredder. There are two types of cut available from our range of shredders: strip cut (ribbon cut) or cross cut (confetti cut). We recommend strip cut for general security demands and cross cut technique offers high data protection and a considerable reduction of shredded paper volume.
