Choose the type of printer suited to your needs
There are different types of printers on the market, including laser printers and inkjet printers.

Invest in quality consumables
To obtain optimal quality prints, it is essential to select consumables adapted to your printer. This includes of course paper but also ink or cartridges. Choose brands recognized by your printer manufacturer. Some white marks can be interesting but you should check the quality of this to get the most out of your prints without damaging your precious printing tool. In short, this will ensure better longevity of the material as well as consistent printing quality.
Optimize your printer settings
In order to maximize the use of your professional printer, it is crucial to master its settings. For example, adjust the print resolution according to the type of documents to be printed, choose the double-sided printing mode to save paper and adjust the print quality according to needs (high for presentations, low for drafts).
Manage printing costs effectively
Controlling printing costs is a major concern for businesses. To do this, it is possible to use print management software that allows you to track and control the use of the printer. These tools can help identify sources of waste and optimize internal processes. If you go through a reseller or a leasing solution, the company can direct you towards more economical solutions in certain machine choices:
- Opt for compatible or refilled cartridges: these alternatives are often less expensive than the original cartridges.
- Negotiate contracts with suppliers: it is possible to negotiate more advantageous prices for the purchase of consumables in large quantities.
Maintain your printer in good condition
Although it may seem obvious, to ensure optimal performance and a prolonged lifespan of your professional printer, it is fundamental to take care of it. This includes regular maintenance: cleaning print heads, replacing used ink cartridges, checking that components are functioning properly, etc. This maintenance can be done manually, semi-manually but it is recommended, for professional printers, to go through a professional (option included in certain leasing contracts).
Print smartly
