How To Save Space With Your Printer

When it comes to printer technology, we may be your go-to website for printer cartridges in the UK, but there’s only so much we can do to help squeeze a printer into a cramped workspace. In general, the smaller the printer, the less reliable and durable it is, and the more you’ll have to change the cartridges, but there are some other solutions in the world of printing which will help you make the most of your space.

First up, look at technology which doubles up on purposes. A lot of printers have built in scanning and copying functions anyway, but as a novel idea, what about a printer that’s also a speaker? HP’s Amp range, for example, has a built in Bluetooth speaker, which makes it perfect for the home office. You can not only use it to play whatever background noise you’d like, but also use it reliably as a speakerphone, making it great for those always tricky conference calls.

Ask yourself the question: do I really need a bulky printer that incorporates a scanner and copier too? Scanning documents is always useful, but more and more industries are using digital signing technology than ever before, making scanning a thing of the past, and helping to protect sensitive data. If you do need to scan, the mobile version of an app such as cloud storage system Dropbox comes with a built in scanner function using the phone camera, which might be even more practical and useful than a traditional scanner.
