About Printers for Teams

Mission Statement

We help offices choose and run printers that fit the way teams actually work. Our workflow‑first, lifetime‑cost approach translates specs into day‑to‑day reliability, predictable costs, and secure, low‑friction printing and scanning.

Our mission is to rank devices by three-year ownership reality—not brochure promises—covering total cost of ownership, uptime, driver/security support, supplies continuity, and integration with the tools you already use.

We exist so office managers, SMB IT leads, educators, and distributed teams can get to a confident shortlist faster, with fewer model surprises, cleaner deployments, and measurable improvements in cost, security, and user satisfaction.

Brand Story

Printer shopping shouldn’t require decoding marketing language or guessing how a device will behave with real people, real documents, and real deadlines. We built Printers for Teams after watching too many projects derail from hidden costs, flaky drivers, and supplies hiccups that only appear months after deployment.

Our methodology blends lab testing with field data to model three years of ownership. We score devices on cost‑per‑page, duty‑cycle headroom, duplex and scan reliability, driverless/universal driver support, security posture (signed firmware, encryption, pull print), noise/footprint, and cartridge availability. Then we map those findings to actual workflows—front office check‑ins, finance close, classroom handouts, healthcare intake, legal bundles, shipping labels—so recommendations feel intuitive and operationally sound.

The result is practical, low‑friction guidance that scales from a single desk to a mixed fleet. You’ll see exactly why a model earns a place on a shortlist, how it affects helpdesk load, and what it will cost—inks, toners, parts, and time—over years, not weeks.

Our Team

We’re a cross‑disciplinary group focused on the full print lifecycle.

• Fleet Architect: Former MPS consultant specializing in right‑sizing fleets, SLA design, and multi‑site standardization.
• Security Analyst: Enterprise print security specialist covering secure release, encrypted storage, signed firmware, and SIEM logging.
• Workflow Engineer: Scan/OCR integrator for SharePoint/Teams/Google Drive/EMR with metadata automation and retention policies.
• Supplies Economist: TCO modeler focused on cost‑per‑page, yield validation, multi‑source consumables, and auto‑replenishment.
• Service Lead: Ex‑field tech obsessed with uptime, parts availability, and serviceability that actually meets SLAs.

Together, we publish setup guides, comparisons, and procurement frameworks that reduce risk, simplify choices, and keep your teams printing when it matters most.
