Are your supplies running low?

Do you have all the tools needed for spring cleaning in your office?

Spring cleaning season is upon us, and it’s the perfect time for an office refresh. Now is the ideal time to spruce up your supplies, clean out clutter, replace old labels and sanitize your workspace!  

We’re here to provide you with business solutions in Ann Arbor to reorganize your office so you can set yourself up for success heading into the new season.

Restock Supplies

This is a smart time to take stock of your current inventory and make a list of what you’re running low on. Instead of making several trips to multiple stores each month, visit us for a one-stop shop for all your paper and printer products, and we’ll get you set up with everything you need.

Some supplies that may need restocking this time of year are paper products like copy paper, point of sale rolls, labels, and specialty paper. Don’t forget printer cartridges! Did you know that our local compatible toner customers enjoy free cleanings and routine maintenance? This means you’ll never have to struggle with or pay for the installation of fusers, maintenance kits, transfer belts, or other components which will make your spring refresh a breeze!

Sanitize Your Workspace

Coming off cold and flu season, it’s best practice to wipe down and disinfect all hard surfaces in your office to get rid of germs and dust that accumulated during the winter months, especially in and around high traffic areas like bathrooms, breakrooms, and lobbies.

We provide an array of personal protective equipment to help keep your office clean, and all your employees healthy! We have disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, UV disinfecting wands and more. See our PPE list to learn more about what we offer.

Eco-Friendly Printing Routines: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Electronics!

toner cartridge recycling ann arbor

Is your office participating in toner cartridge recycling?

In April, many companies brainstorm how they can incorporate more environmentally-friendly practices in their daily business routines in honor of Earth Day.

Not sure where to start? We’ve got the tips for you and are ready to offer our partnership in electronic recycling to help your business takes the proper precautions to lessen your environmental footprint in the Ann Arbor community.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle! This is the obvious starting point to begin eco-friendly printing solutions in your office. You can start reducing by encouraging your office to keep documents digital, and only print when 100% necessary.

Another way to reduce is double-sided printing. Did you know the average office employee prints over 10,000 sheets of paper per a year? That’s almost a whole tree’s worth of paper! Small changes like this can be highly impactful.

Ways to reuse can be starting a scrap paper bin in your office for notetaking, or printing drafts. Another way we recommend to reuse is purchasing refillable ink cartridges.

Electronic Recycling

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that recycling electronics helps reduce environmental pollution of harmful toxins like mercury, lead, and cadmium in landfills and our soil. It also conserves energy that would be generated while manufacturing new products by reducing the demand for raw materials.

We can help you reduce e-waste by making the process of electronic recycling easy! We collect empty toner cartridges, obsolete computers, monitors, printers, and other office equipment from our current customers free of charge. Not one of our customers? Don’t worry, we’re happy to pick up your e-waste for $100.

Eco-Friendly Printing Routines: Recycle vs. Reuse Your Toner Cartridges

Not sure how to start the process of going green?

Is your office already recycling printer toner?

In April, many companies brainstorm how they can incorporate more environmentally-friendly practices in their daily business routines in honor of Earth Day.

Don’t know where to begin? We’ve got the tips for you and are ready to offer our partnership in electronic recycling to help your business takes the proper precautions to lessen your environmental footprint in the Ann Arbor community.

Toner Cartridge Recycling vs. Toner Cartridge Reuse

While both recycling and reusing are both amazing eco-friendly strategies, reusing is the better option. Reusing ink and toner cartridges will help keep the e-waste out of landfills more effectively.

Compatible toners are built from scratch and are a cheaper option, due to being made with single use plastics. Re-manufactured toners can have the inside springs and rollers replaced so that they can be refilled and reused in the future.

There is zero difference in the printing quality among the two options, yet the latter is more effective at reducing your carbon footprint.

Need Professional Printer Repair? Save Money by Reading This First

Now that we’re all spending more time at home and our kitchens and dens have transitioned into home offices, you might be noticing that your home inkjet printer isn’t as up to par as you thought it was. 

How do you know if you should spend the time and money to hire a printer repair service, or if you should just replace your machine? 

Read the full article about repairing vs. replacing a home printer on our website!

Not only do we offer the friendliest printer repair service in Ann Arbor, but we practically make it a “no-brainer,” because when you purchase compatible toner cartridges from MCS, your labor is FREE for toner-related problems. 

Thankfully, printers are typically very low maintenance.  You’ll usually just need to replace the consumables, such as toner, fusers, and drums.  Occasionally, you may also need to replace parts such as rollers and drive gears (which pick up blank paper and deliver the printed paper into the tray). 

We truly care about the Ann Arbor community and want to continue to build relationships with small businesses and non-profit organizations.  We have the ability to help you with all your computer, labeling, and printing needs, including on location printer repair service in Ann Arbor and the surrounding area. 

Contact us today to discuss your needs and to schedule a checkup for your printer.  We can also serve your toner needs.  Check out a sample of our competitive prices!

Tired of Fixing Paper Jams? Hire Professional Printer Repair

printer repair service ann arbor
Do you have a home printer that never seems to work correctly?

Do you spend more time fixing paper jams and streaky ink than you do printing documents you need for work or school? 

Do you want to hire a professional repair service but aren’t sure it’s worth the investment? We can help. MCS often helps homeowners with repair issues, but sometimes it’s a better use of your time and money to replace your machine for one that will work better for your needs. How do you know what to do? 

Read our recommendations for repairing or replacing your printer on our website!

While some repairs can be done on site, others will require parts and a technician. When labor costs are involved, the bill for repair can quickly skyrocket. When deciding whether to repair or replace your printer, consider the total costs of replacement parts and labor.

We know repairs are sometimes the only choice for those of us working at home, and if you feel a replacement isn’t the right choice, we can do a $25 printer assessment to determine what your next steps should be.

Printer Repair for Your Business: Worth the Cost?

printer repair service ann arbor
If you own or manage a business that relies on multiple printers, you know how much of an expense your equipment, toner cartridges, and paper can be. You also know what a pain it is when you and your staff aren’t able to print.

Working from home presents a new set of challenges! Your home printer is probably not used to be used as frequently or in such high volumes as you’re using it now. If you’re having issues, how do you take care of your machine?

Take care of your investment and schedule service as soon as your printer shows signs of a problem. Kyle Miller, our resident printer expert, says, “In my opinion, it is good practice to have your laser printers serviced every year, even when nothing is wrong with them.” 

Read our checklist for hiring the printer repair pros on our website!

MCS recommends choosing the right printer for your needs, whether that’s only printing once every few days, or printing several documents every hour. The type of printer you need and the quality of printer necessary will depend on how often you use it, and what you’re using it for. Read more about how to choose the right printer here!

If you absolutely need to get your home printer serviced, MCS is ready to help! We know repairs are sometimes the only choice for those of us working at home, and if you feel a replacement isn’t the right choice, we can do a $25 printer assessment to determine what your next steps should be.
