If you are considering making the switch from inkjet or toner printers to solid ink printers, you might wonder what the benefits might be versus your old machine. It’s to the whole office’s benefit that you cut down on costs, including on printer ink or cartridges. One way is through the ink budget. These solid inks might be a great way to get that done.

There is one interesting program that will let you reduce your costs using a solid ink printer. There are programs that give you a free printer and ink in exchange for a per-copy cost. You don’t have to invest in the machine itself, or make sure you have ink in stock – that’s all taken care of by the program. By charging 10 cents a page, or less if there is more frequent printer use, you can get great color copies in your office without having to worry about ink, upkeep or repairs.

You will still have to pay for paper with this type of solid ink printer program, but you can even start saving there. With solid ink, you can use lower-quality paper and still get amazing, professional results. The paper is not covered by this type of program, so that cost will still exist for your office, but you can afford to trim your paper budget and still get great high-quality prints. It beats running out to a copy store and the cost is less.

Since these printers use ink sticks, you will never have to worry about smudging. The days of throwing out prints because of smudgy ink are over. You can also print quicker on a solid stick ink printer than on a laser printer, meaning you can reduce the number of printers in your office and save money in that manner. There will be less wait time for the prints to come out, speeding up your office.
