Using Color Prints to Boost Marketing Efforts

Trying to grow your business in the community?

Want to make your marketing materials stand out among the competition?

Whether you’re going to networking events or sending out mailers, color prints are a great way to make an impression. Canva, an online graphic design tool, reports the majority of people make their decisions about a product or brand based on the color of a document or label.

However, if your printer only puts out lifeless, dull images, you could be doing yourself a disservice! 

Here’s our best practices to keep your color prints looking vibrant:

1. 1Consider the paper quality. Lower quality paper may cause the color of your documents to bleed or look dull. Regular copier paper isn’t great quality, so when you print in color, consider photo paper or cardstock.  
2. What are your printer settings? Sticking with the default printer settings is normal, but probably won’t work well for color printing. If you’re exclusively printing in color, consider changing the settings to increase the print resolution. Some printers can be changed to a “color mode” in order to optimize color printing.

Looking for a Cost-Effective Color Printer?

Are you shopping for a cost-efficient color printer for your business?

Are you overwhelmed by the cost of printer cartridges and ink that you spend each month?

If you’re buying a new printer for your business needs, it’s not just the price tag of the unit itself you should be paying attention to!

A Color Printer is Cost-Efficient if…

… The price is right. While overall price isn’t the only factor to consider when shopping for a printer, it is certainly still something to factor in. Generally, printer cost goes up when the unit has more features. If you’re a home user, chances are you won’t need the high speed, high-capacity performance of a business feature. If you’re a business owner with high volume printing needs, spending a bit more on a more advanced printer will better accommodate your needs.

… The cost per page is low. Your printer’s cost per page is the most important factor to consider when shopping. Different ink cartridges are designed to print a certain number of pages before it needs to be replaced. Laser toner cartridges have much higher page yields compared to ink cartridges. Even though toner cartridges cost more, the cost per page of a laser toner is still much lower. In the long run, laser printers are generally more cost-efficient.

… Compatible cartridges are available for your printer. Most original brand cartridges are not cheap! Today, there are several other options, like third-party consumables in the form of compatible and remanufactured ink cartridges. These ink cartridges offer customers a way to cut their print costs by as much as 50% or more.

Toner vs. Ink Cartridges: Make the Smart Choice for Your Business

Have you ever wondered…?

• What’s the difference between a laser printer and an inkjet printer? 
• Is there difference between toner and ink? 
• Is there a difference between the cost of toner and ink? 

When shopping for the right printer or printer cartridges for your business, you want to be sure you make a smart investment so you and your employees can rely on high quality prints.

After all, nothing’s worse than a printer that stops working halfway through a project!

Laser printers and their toner cartridges can cost more. However, it’s important to consider the long-term cost savings. Toner cartridges will print more pages than an ink cartridge and often have a lower cost per page. Also, determine whether or not you want to print in color or if monochrome printing (black ink or toner only) will suit your needs. Monochrome laser printing can cost considerably less than printing in color.

Be sure to read the product specifications to determine if this is the best option for you.
