Mobile Printing: What Does It Mean for You and What Should You be Looking For?

The explosion of iPhones, Driods, Blackberries as well as iPads and other tablet based computers, has led to an ever increasing mobile work environment. Being tethered to a desktop computer on a traditional network is slowly becoming the past. The Cloud and services delivered through it are now becoming the standard, which makes it vital that you have your printing needs addressed, or you will find yourself with all this great content and nowhere to output it!

So, what is out there to help the changing enterprise deliver solid printing resources to their employees, consultants, clients, students and visitors? Well, it all depends on what you are trying to accomplish and how important document and network security is within your organization. Read More »

Understanding the Section 179 Tax Benefit for Office Equipment Purchases

Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment (includes Copiers, Printers, MFPs etc.) purchased or financed during the tax year. In 2011, it goes up to $500,000 (from $250,000 in 2010). It's an incentive created by the U.S. Government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves.

When your business buys equipment, you typically have to write it off a little at a time through depreciation over the life of that equipment. Section 179 lets you write it all off now, even if you lease the purchase, with the idea that through this incentive, you just might add more equipment this year instead of waiting. Here's a simple example of the potential for huge savings. Read More »

Tracking the Cost of Printer & Copier Output

Earlier this month we hosted a Webcast demonstrating what today’s office equipment and software offers in the way of tracking, reporting and most of all recovering what you spend on the costs of printing in your office. The 30 minute webcast looked at taking control of your printing infrastructure & reducing related costs. We reviewed best practices and demonstrated industry leading software solution uniFLOW which provides full print and copy accounting for networked and desktop printers and multi functional printers (MFP).
