Investing in the right high-volume printer for many businesses with high-volume printing requirements can help create more efficient printing processes. More efficiency means more time and energy towards mission-critical tasks that will scale your business to greater heights. Serving a diverse range of industries, BDS is familiar with the most common office documents printed, shared, and managed daily.
A high-volume printer can help you quickly print a variety of materials, including:
- Reports
- Marketing Materials
- Spreadsheets
- Invoices
The right high-volume printer will allow you to seamlessly switch between printing these various materials with little to no downtime. Today, we will focus on the influence understanding your high-volume printing needs has on choosing the right printer and some of the top choices local businesses like yours are investing in.
Why Assessing Your High-Volume Printing Needs is Critical
Assessing your high-volume printing needs is a critical first step in matching your office with the right printer. Businesses have different needs, and these needs can depend on your industry, business size, and budget. Taking inventory of your current print infrastructure can help you make more informed decisions when expanding. To start this process, we highly suggest conducting a print assessment or audit.
BDS print assessments are complimentary and allow our team to examine your print operations more closely. We can pull the most essential metrics, including your current print speed, frequency, duty cycle, and more, to find the best solution for your office. From there, we can balance those metrics against the goals you have for your printer fleet. As your trustworthy local print technology provider, you can trust us to make the most informed and reputable recommendations.
Part of what keeps our dedicated clients coming back to BDS is our honesty. Sometimes, particular solutions, devices, or ideas are unrealistic. Instead of promising false hope, you can count on our team’s integrity in giving your honest feedback. Our experts have over 40 years of experience, and the beauty of this experience is that we are confident in finding the right solution for your office. Just because a particular solution did not work out does not mean all hope is lost. We can often still address your needs with a few tweaks and customizations.
Types of High-Volume Printers
High-volume printers are a large category of printers that encapsulate various models and printer types. For today’s exploration, it would be unhelpful to say a high-volume printer will solve every problem for your business because there are simply so many versions of it. Instead, we will break down a few of the most common high-volume printers with a track record for elevating print operations of offices globally.
The MFP
One of the most popular printer models on the market, the MFP (multifunction printer), combines print, scan, copy, and fax capabilities in one innovative device. These advanced features allow businesses to effectively reduce the number of operating devices in their office while streamlining workflows. The MFP is a great choice for businesses seeking better speed and efficiency, as combining all these features in one device is the ultimate productivity hack.
Production Printers
A production printer is not for every business, but it is still worth mentioning. Production printers are a type of high-volume printer that most large enterprises utilize to keep up with their heavy-duty printing. These are not printers you will find in a small nonprofit office; think instead of a large organization with factories and high-level printing needs. Although not a super common type of printer, there is arguably no better option for those working in large organizations that require speed and reliability for their large-scale prints.
Color Laser Printers
A long-term favorite of offices globally, the color laser printer is a phenomenal option for most offices seeking an elevated printing experience. Laser technology is very innovative and produces sharp, accurate, and high-quality prints at record-fast speeds. This unique blend of sophistication and speed is perfect for offices that work primarily in image—and text-based printing environments.
