One way that you can improve the productivity of your staff and business in general is to take a look at your printing habits, as this is a machine that your small business may depend on heavily in the day to day running of your company.

Create marketing materials

If budget is on your mind and you’re looking to reduce the out costs that your business has, you could consider creating your own marketing materials as opposed to outsourcing them.

Many small business printers have high performance and quality output, meaning that promotional materials such as business cards, posters and flyers without the expenditure being given to another company to produce them.

Allowing you to establish connections with both existing and prospective clients through your promotional documents, choosing a colour printer is an excellent choice for any small business as it allows you to print a variety of materials as and when you require them.

Reduce running costs with multifunction machines

In a small business, the amount of available space in your office may lead you to believe that you’re unable to complete a variety of document-related tasks, such as printing and scanning.

However, small businesses can opt for a multifunction printer such as the ones in the Epson Workforce Pro range which allow for a variety of tasks to be completed within one model; eliminating the need to waste valuable office space when using different machines.

All-in-one printers allow for printing, scanning and photocopying and faxing. This means that your business can carry out several tasks whilst optimising space in your office, and experience cheaper running costs simultaneously.

Enhanced organisation

If you’re running a business, there’s a strong likelihood that your organisation skills will need to be top-notch. From organising client meetings to ensuring that deadlines are met, keeping a strict organisation method is key to ensuring that your workload is managed.

Many Epson printers will cater to your organisational needs as they offer facilities that allow you to print meeting notes and calendars. Writing things down on paper has been proven to make you more productive, so opting for a printed calendar where you can physically write and erase things may help you more than you think!

Think about your printing requirements

When it comes to small business printing, it’s essential to consider exactly how the machine will be used throughout the day.

If you require a model that can cope with a smaller capacity whilst still having low running costs, you may want to find a printer such as the Epson Mono Laser machine. This model also permits automatic duplex printing to even further reduce the running costs due to your printer requiring less paper.

As you can see, there are many ways in which small business printing can be used to enhance the available space in your environment, as well as reduce running costs and improve productivity.
