Printer, Scanner & Copier Hire

With modern day technology, printing photos is becoming less popular and let us not forget about how much it could cost depending on where and what you are wanting to print. However, there is a particularly great feeling you get when you sit down and look through a photo album full of timeless memories. Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, are probably playing a big part as to why getting your photos printed seems like a tedious job.

Google Vice President Dr. Vincent Cerf said, “We are nonchalantly throwing all of our data into what could become an information black hole without realising it.” Having the ability to share and post your photos is still an incredible thing and allows you to show friends and family new and old memories. But on the other side to this, as well as an advancement in digital technology, there has been an advancement in printing technology allowing you to achieve professional looking printed photos in the comfort of your own home. 

The first step would be to make sure your printer is able to produce high quality prints or invest in one that would be capable of doing so. Don’t think that you have to invest in an expensive laser technology printer, an inkjet printer can print some incredible photo prints. A high resolution will result in a better-quality image so make sure the printer is able to print at the right dpi (dpi stands for dots per inch) and you do not select one too high for the printer. Have a look at your image size and see what the pixel dimensions are, remember making the photo bigger can result in the loss of the sharpness in the original photo. Finally, you will also want to choose glossy photo paper to print with as this will bring vibrance to your photos and give your prints that professional look. 

Once you have the right printer and the right technique printing your photos at home will be super simple and cost-effective. 

 

Spending a large amount on equipment for the office is not a dream for any businesses, especially SMEs or start-ups. Even though copiers and printers are a necessity for offices, they can come with some additional costs such as maintenance fees. And we believe that you’d much rather spend that amount by investing in your employees or business. That’s when the advantage of leasing a copier or printer has a big impact to your business.

With government lockdown restrictions being lifted, many businesses are heading back to work or making preperations to go back. What is very clear is that normal practice within the office is not going to be the same anymore. But what does this mean for shared equipment, and how can you ensure it remains safe to use for everyone? 

Shared equipment such as printers and photocopiers are known to habour bacteria even outside of a global pandemic, and it is always advised to regularly disinfect high touch point areas such as touch screens, buttons, paper trays and the glass screen. However, during this pandemic and for the foreseeable the frequency you disinfect these areas should increase. It's recommended that a thorough cleaning regime is developed so that the entire office receives a deep clean as often as possible, but also educating your employees to practice sensible hygiene procedure. To help promote this idea of safe practice it is advised to provide sanitising wipes and hand-gel in mulitple locations aroudn the office and particularly next to these high touch point areas. 

If staff members sanitised the photocopier before and after usage, then the risk of contamination is severely reduced. 

Most offices are now having to work at a reduced capacity and bringing staff in on a part-time basis so that multiple teams can be developed to avoid cross-over. However, what this means, particularly in smaller offices where abiding by the 2 meter distancing rule is more difficult, is that it is likely that people will be required to share desks with staff members from previous and future shifts. It is therefore, again, imperative to create a strict cleaning schedule for the end of each day. It is also the responsibility of the staff member to disinfect their workstation before and after working.
