5.) 5 Facts About Office Printing, Paper, and the Price

Have you ever wondered what your office is spending on printing? Studies show that some companies are spending upwards of 3% of their annual revenue on printing expenses. Managed Print Specialist, Janice Moore, examined a few of the facts and figures that go into business printing. Printing can be expensive and wasteful if it is being managed incorrectly.

2.) The Worst Copier in KC 2017 Event Recap

We've all had a run in with a copier that left us frustrated. That business pain point led to the creation of our annual Worst Copier in KC event! Each year we accept submissions from area Kansas City businesses on why they believe they have the worst copier in the city. After we've selected a winner, the business has the pleasure of coming to the event to watch their old machine get dropped from a crane hanging above Union Station. Last year, our winner St. John the Baptist Church, got to watch their old copier smash into a million pieces and then received a new device courtesy of SumnerOne! Our Kansas City office hosts this smashing event each September to not only benefit the winner, but also a local KC non-profit called BIGGSteps which was established to support cancer research. If you'd like to see the full video from the event, check out this blog!
