Most printer comparisons try to find a winner. This one is different. The Xerox VersaLink and AltaLink ranges and the Lexmark CX950 and CX960 series are both excellent A3 colour MFDs, but they are built for very different environments. Here is an honest breakdown from a partner that supplies both.

Care homes operate under pressure that most businesses simply don't face. Rising staffing costs, CQC inspections, GDPR obligations, and tight local authority funding leave little room for waste anywhere, including in the print room. Yet printing remains one of the most overlooked cost centres in care home management. MAR charts, care assessments, safeguarding forms, staff rotas, and resident correspondence all generate significant print volumes, often managed on ageing equipm

Charities face a challenge that most businesses don't: every pound spent on administration is a pound not spent on the cause. That means operational costs, including printing, come under much greater scrutiny than in the private sector. Yet many charities are running print environments that are costing far more than they should, with no clear picture of what's being spent or why. With the right managed print setup, charities can reduce their print costs significantly, free up

Xerox has launched the Proficio Production Series and it is not a refresh. The PX300 and PX500 are a brand new platform. Here is an honest breakdown from a Xerox authorised partner on what has actually changed and whether it is worth upgrading from the Versant 280 or 4100.

In a law firm, every document matters. Case files, witness statements, contracts, court bundles, the volume of printing in a busy legal practice is enormous, and the stakes attached to each page are high. A document left on a printer tray, a misconfigured device that stores scanned files, or an untracked print job can mean a serious data breach and a potential SRA disciplinary action. The legal sector is one of the most print-intensive industries in the UK, yet many firms are

When a printer keeps jamming, the instinct is to call the engineer. But what if the problem isn't the printer at all? For a growing number of businesses, the root cause of their most frequent print failures isn't hardware, it's the paper sitting in the tray. Paper prices have increased significantly over the last five years. As manufacturers have cut costs to stay competitive, quality has deteriorated. Tolerances have widened. Dust content has risen. And the knock-on effects

Schools are under more financial pressure than ever. Between rising energy bills, staffing costs, and budget cuts, finding savings wherever possible is essential. Yet for many schools, one of the biggest hidden drains on time and money is something that happens dozens of times a day printing. From corridors of printers needing constant IT attention to expensive print servers that require ongoing maintenance, traditional print setups simply weren't designed for the way modern

Running a church involves far more administration than most people realise. From weekly service sheets and newsletters to financial reports, safeguarding documents, and event flyers the volume of printing in a typical church office can be surprisingly high. Yet print is often one of the last things church leaders think to review, leaving many congregations paying more than they need to for equipment that isn't right for them. Managed Print Services (MPS) offer a smarter, more

If you have heard the term managed print service but are not entirely sure what it means, you are not alone. It is one of those business terms that gets used constantly without anyone stopping to explain it properly. This guide covers everything you need to know: what a managed print service actually is, what it includes, how much it costs, and why thousands of UK businesses are switching from managing their own printers to working with an MPS provider.

You buy a toner cartridge that says 10,000 pages on the box. It runs out somewhere around 4,000. The cartridge is probably not faulty. The problem is page coverage, and most businesses have never heard of it. But toner is only part of the story. Add in drums, fusers, waste toner bottles, feed rollers and the staff time spent managing all of it, and the true cost of running your own printers is almost always higher than it first appears. This guide breaks it down so you can se

Printing is one of those business costs that flies under the radar. Most companies have no idea how much they actually spend on printing each year, and when the numbers are added up, the total is often a shock. Between paper, toner, energy, maintenance and wasted prints, the average UK office spends thousands of pounds a year on printing alone. The good news is that there are some simple, practical steps you can take to bring those costs down without disrupting how your team

For businesses with available capital and relatively low print volumes, buying can make sense. The main advantages of buying are simplicity and full ownership. You pay once, and the device is yours. This means no long-term lease obligations. You can also write down the asset for tax purpo
