Business equipment - the best new printers, copiers and office gear for your business

These days, businesses around the country face an increasingly competitive environment. As such, for a business to be efficient and successful, you need to know that all your printers, faxes, scanners and other office technologies are maximising your productivity while minimising your costs.



If you feel as though it’s time for your noisy little ink jet printer and rickety office fax machine to retire, here are some things you’ll need to consider when purchasing your new business technology for printing and copying important documents.



Consider your own business – Depending on the type of business you run, the technology you need will obviously be different. If you work in advertising or marketing, or if you own your own retail shop or café, chances are you’ll need a printer with the ability to print large-scale colour layouts and posters. A great option is the Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6000S Large Format Printer, which prints large, colour A1 prints in under a minute.



How many people? – You’ll also have different technology needs based on the number of people in your company. One tiny printer for an office of over 30 people just won’t cut it. You’ll need something more heavy duty that can handle multiple print tasks, and print at high speeds. The Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE 6055 multifunction device has efficient document handling of multiple print jobs, and also prints, scans and copies.



Think about what’s most important to you – Do you need to your technology to be easy to use? Are you concerned about the environment? Is space an issue in your office? If space and costs are both issues, all-in-one printers make multitasking and budgeting much easier, and are perfect for both small and large offices. The Canon MF8350Cdn is the ultimate all-in-one for small businesses, with the ability to print, fax, copy and scan in colour.



Gone are the days when offices had slow printers, noisy fax machines, and scanners and photocopiers which were either always jammed with paper or out of ink. Now you can get stylish, affordable and highly efficient business technology, so it’s easy to find something that’s a printer, fax machine, copier and scanner in one.
