Modern printers and copiers come with a whole host of features to make your life easier. The features you want from a commercial copy machine will vary depending on your office’s printing needs. At Merrimack Valley Business Machines, our team can help you navigate all the latest models and available features to help you select a commercial copy machine that will increase your office productivity and save you time and money.
Here’s a closer look at some important features to look for in a new commercial copy machine.
Printing Technology and Quality
Most printers and copiers use one of two types of printing technology: laser or inkjet. Laser printers are often preferable for most office and business uses because they can print high volumes quickly in relatively high quality. Inkjet printers can produce quality color prints, which makes them a good choice for marketing materials. However, they are much slower than laser printers, so printing in higher volumes can take a while.Different copiers and printers also have different resolutions. A printer’s resolution is measured in DPI (dots per inch). The higher the DPI, the better the print resolution will be.
Security Features
If your office or business deals with sensitive or confidential information, you’ll want to ensure your copier has sufficient security features. Doctor’s offices, legal firms, and many other businesses need to send sensitive data from their devices to their printers. To keep that information secure, look for copiers with security features such as data encryption, secure print release, and user authentication.
Multi-Function and Special Features
Most commercial copy machines are also multifunctional printers. They can print, copy, scan, and fax documents. A multifunction printer can streamline your office equipment and save space. You may also want additional special features, including automatic duplex printing, advanced color management, and finishing options like hole punching or stapling.
