In times of financial crisis and when the cost of running a business is higher than it has ever been the need to find the right print solution for your business is paramount.  Here is what we need to pay attention when looking for the right print solution.

Jump on a search engine and type in either printer, copier or MFD.  When the results appear make sure not to jump to the first page that highlights itself in front of you, it is better to look at the page titles before investigating any further.  Make yourself familiar with a list of the major names in the industry, such as Xerox, Canon, HP, Panasonic, Ricoh, Kyocera Mita, Konica Minolta, and Sharp.  Once you familiarise yourself with these you can them determine whether they deal direct or through dealers, either way they should have a web-site and an area dedicated to specific areas of the market (smaller production, medium & larger production), and perhaps even an area for colour.  Have a look at the different types of products that you feel apply to your situation and make note of the makes and models.  Most companies go by the three quote policy so I would recommend following this rule to start with.  Choose the three suppliers you feel most comfortable with and then contact them, there will be a contact us area or a phone number, but expect to receive an Account Manager on the other end of the line once you get through so be ready.  They will more than likely want to spend some time coming out to your place of business to investigate the best solution for you; if you are happy with this let them know, if not keep the business over the phone.
