Having a printer in an office can be essential to ensure that important business documents and marketing materials can be produced on-site, saving a great deal of both time and money. However, one of the negatives of having a printer, especially in a smaller office, is that they are often connected to more than one computer and this consequently creates a great deal of cabling and wiring.
These connections can be a health and safety hazard as they could potentially cause trips and falls and other problems such as making an office look untidy. Another issue these printer connections can cause is that the placing of desks and printer tables needs to be carefully thought out to ensure the cables can reach between the computer and the printer. One way of avoiding these problems is to use wireless printers which require little or no cabling.
A wireless printer can be set up in a number of ways to print wirelessly, including using a wireless router, a broadband internet connection or using a printer that is wireless-enabled. One of the many advantages of using a wireless printer is that they can be connected' to a number of computers; this helps avoids the need to purchase several printers (and printer cartridges).
Without the need for several metres of trailing wires and connectors from computers to printers, there are opportunities to reduce the number of accidents that occur in the office. Not only can a person injure themselves tripping on the connections, equipment can be dragged from desks and table tops, which can result in damaged items. At Internet Ink we have printer cartridges and ink that can keep your printers going for longer. Our printer ink products are from a range of manufacturers and can support a number of different types of printers.
