Maximize your ROI with HP Color LaserJet Printers

It’s wise to look beyond specs and price tags when choosing color printers for your office. They’ll only tell you so much, and they generally won’t reveal much if anything about a device’s impact on IT resources or its ease of use — both of which can radically affect your return on investment. If you compare the innovative technologies employed by Color LaserJet printers to those found in competing devices, it should be easy to see how HP can reduce IT support needs, make users successful with color, and thus help you achieve a higher technology ROI. Reduce impact on IT resources with HP innovation.

• Fewer replacement parts — IT can rely on users to replace toner but typically not other consumables, so it’s important to consider the number and lifespan of replacement parts beyond toner. HP’s integrated print cartridges contain the developers and drums, which not only dramatically reduces replacement-part interventions, but ensures optimum print quality, as well, since you essentially refresh the entire imaging system every time you swap out Color LaserJet toner.

• Reduced failures — HP’s reliable designs eliminate many problems commonly found in competing color printers, such as memory errors, fuser failures, and print-quality defects caused by clogged solid-ink print nozzles and dirty LED lenses. 

• True 1:many management — HP Web Jetadmin lets you batch configure multiple printers, plus it lets you deploy pre-configured drivers in one easy step. Most competing utilities force IT to configure each printer and each client’s driver one at a time. HP also helps you control access to color-printing resources, track device utilization, and route specific alerts to the appropriate people. continue reading...

Change is inevitable.

HP MFPs give you the tools you need to thrive in the midst of it. Whether it’s a business of 10 or 10,000 employees, success is measured in terms of productivity, efficiency, and return on information technology investment. Businesses today may find it challenging to match the productivity gains achieved during the past two decades through the introduction of hardware and software technologies. However, smart organizations can ratchet up productivity and increase efficiency in response to change by investing in — and strategically deploying — the right technologies. HP is well equipped to help businesses large and small hone their competitive edge.

HP innovation has always focused on providing ready access to reliable, easy-to-use tools designed around how people work. Laser and inkjet printing, network connectivity, the distributed printer model, and device management are examples of HP’s success. HP multifunction products simply are the latest iteration of that time-honored tradition.

HP multifunction products are a real plus for small and medium-sized businesses.

For small businesses and medium-sized businesses that demand more for less, HP multifunction products are a perfect solution. Combining printing, copying, faxing, scanning and digital sending in one reliable, easy-to-use device can give businesses improved performance and greater availability while reducing service and support costs. Say “farewell” to those costly copier contracts and that vast inventory of miscellaneous spare parts. Moreover, HP’s practical networking know-how can help make information sharing and remote management easy, saving both time and money. What a plus. continue reading...

The HP Universal Print Driver for Windows is the single driver that gives users instant access to virtually any HP LaserJet printer or MFP, without downloading separate drivers.

Anything but generic The HP Universal Print Driver is more than a onesize-fits-all print solution. The sophisticated yet simple print driver communicates directly with each HP device, gathers configuration information, then customizes the user interface to show the device’s unique, available features.

While some multi-device print drivers only enable the most basic functions, the HP Universal Print Driver enables most available features—no matter how advanced—from two-sided printing and stapling to watermark printing on all of the devices it supports. Users are never held up or held back.

While the user interface is customized for each device, users enjoy a familiar experience regardless of device. Speaks your language—and your printer’s language.

It’s just as important for print drivers to communicate with people as with printers. That’s why the HP Universal Print Driver is available in 26 different languages. This multilingual driver also supports multiple printer languages, including PCL5, PCL6, and HP postscript 2 and 3 emulation and is compatible with a range of Windows® environments, including Windows Vista™.

This means the HP Universal Print Driver is compatible with more HP print devices than ever, including most color and black-and-white printers,
MFPs, and digital copiers. continue reading...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
New, powerful document distribution and management advances place imaging and output resources in an important role within critical business processes. These processes may be vertical, such as brokerage accounts, insurance claims, and FDA drug applications, or horizontal, such as invoicing and HR documentation. As a result of these trends, imaging and output resources are now being included in efforts to align business goals with IT and in efforts to maximize the return on all IT resources.

The process of optimizing the imaging and output infrastructure inevitably reveals unnecessarily high costs and underutilized assets. Indeed, for this White Paper we studied nine large enterprises in the United States, Europe, and Asia and found the majority of organizations studied reported major problems related to overall cost awareness of their imaging hardware, their ability to assess device utilization, and high costs of maintaining an often aged and out-of-date fleet of printers, copiers, and multifunction devices. Based on the experiences of these nine companies and other IDC research, this White Paper looks at the unnecessary costs and inefficiencies that typically exist within these resources and the significant opportunities to achieve cost savings, boost employee productivity, and speed up core business processes from tighter integration between the document advances of hardcopy devices and
business process workflows. continue reading...
