Cybersecurity discussions often focus on laptops, email systems, and cloud platforms. However, many organisations overlook office printers and multifunction devices (MFPs). Modern print devices connect to networks, process sensitive documents, and often store data internally. Without proper controls, they can create serious security risks for businesses of all sizes. Earlier this month, World Password Day […]
World Password Day serves as a useful reminder for businesses to review how they protect their systems and data. While organisations often focus on passwords for email, cloud platforms, and networks, they frequently overlook one critical area: printers and multifunction devices (MFPs). Although the awareness day may have passed, the need for strong printer and […]
Sustainability is now a key priority for organisations of all sizes. Businesses are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining efficiency and productivity. One area that is often overlooked is printing. Office printing can contribute to energy consumption, paper waste and unnecessary costs if it is not properly managed. However, with […]
At first glance, buying a business printer can seem like a straightforward, one-off expense. However, the reality is very different. The cost of owning a business printer goes far beyond the initial purchase price. Many organisations underestimate the ongoing costs associated with printing. Over time, these hidden expenses can build up, impacting budgets, productivity and […]

Yet one area that often goes unmanaged is office printing. For many organisations, printing simply “happens” in the background. Devices are installed, toner is ordered when it runs out […]
Office printing is something most organisations rely on every day. Yet despite how common it is, printing continues to cause frustration, wasted time and unnecessary costs when it isn’t managed properly. From unexpected downtime to spiralling consumable spend, small issues can quickly turn into bigger problems. Understanding the most common challenges is the first step […]
Every year on 28 January, Data Privacy Day highlights the importance of protecting personal and sensitive information. Many organisations focus on cybersecurity, email security and cloud systems, yet often overlook print management systems. Printers, copiers and multifunction devices process large volumes of data every day. From invoices and contracts to employee records and customer information, […]
