Welcome to the InfoPrint Solutions Company Output Environment Update
At InfoPrint Solutions Company, we're continually developing product enhancements and solutions that can help you match the right technology to the right applications in your offices and warehouses. After all, that's the best way to satisfy your requirements for reliability, quality, user adoption and TCO.
No Slippery Slope Here
The slippery slope argument suggests that an action will initiate a chain of events that culminate in an undesirable event in the future – and that a downward slide is inevitable. Our programs, products and services are designed with anti-slippery slope thinking. They are backed by research, industry analyst feedback, customer involvement and extensive testing to minimize risk and maximize reliability. So when you take an action, such as working with us on an output strategy or buying an InfoPrint Solutions Company product, you can feel confident in your decision. We all wish we could know the future, but since that’s impossible, we do our best to bring it into focus with thought leadership such as you’ll find in our "the future of..." series.

Your hospitality business may have goals similar to these: improve the customer's experience, promote operational excellence with flexible options for growth and change, and streamline processes to boost productivity. If you do those things well, then revenue growth should follow. But what's the path to achieving these goals? What does a hotel of the future look like? We are building a strategy and business model, from an output perspective, to show you what it looks like and to help you get there.
In the area of customer experience, a useful first step is to identify the types of output your guests need to print – presentations, airline boarding passes, e-mails, concierge information and more. Then you can begin to understand your present and future requirements for convenience, consistency, security, billing options and so on. Content management and document workflow are essential to the delivery of point-of-need printing.
In the area of operational excellence, a key decision that influences optimization, standards and consolidation is acquisition strategy. The choices are client-managed, an out-tasked model and a fully managed service. The best choice for your business depends on many factors, including a deep understanding of your print network, security, service level agreements (SLAs), and what, where and how you are printing.
The area of productivity improvement includes employee communication internally and with customers. If you automate and streamline processes, you can save time, reduce the risk of error and improve service. For example, by mapping your human resources processes and current workflow (where and how do employees spend time), opportunities emerge for technology to help you move information faster – and that can lead to increased time with guests, reduced employee hiring time and better event experiences.
With the right combination of vision, purpose, planning and action, you can help to ensure that your business thrives no matter what the future of your industry holds. More information on "the future of…" scenarios.
One toner is just as good as another, right? Wrong. The performance, life and quality of your printer are linked to the toner you use. To help you achieve low cost of ownership with fewer maintenance issues, InfoPrint Solutions Company offers toner that is specifically formulated for each InfoPrint 1000 printer and multifunction printer (MFP) to support a broad range of media. If the toner doesn't fuse properly, you may experience problems that cause downtime or costly job redos. Further, each InfoPrint Solutions Company cartridge is tested to assure high reliability out of the box. High-yield and low-yield cartridges are available – the high-yield cartridges provide a lower cost per copy with fewer cartridge changes.
We also encourage your company to support our environmental program and participate in a supplies return program. When you do, you can join us in our commitment to dispose properly of used printer supplies or recover components for recycle, reuse, reclaim or remanufacture. Sign up for a return program and receive an upfront discounted price, along with a pre-paid return system.
