The hottest new trend in the development of office

New trends in the development of office printing in China

in the era of WiFi and cloud technology, our life and work have undergone incredible changes in concept, and everything seems to have become simple and easy. In the field of office printing, the new technological challenges they bring are causing a storm change in the printer market. In addition, the rapid growth of China's economy has led to an increasing number of documents and documents that need to be printed within enterprises. Coupled with the deepening of the concepts of environmental protection, low-energy and high efficiency, the printing needs of enterprises have changed greatly. These are both challenges and opportunities for printer manufacturers. Major printer manufacturers are actively attacking cities and territories, and some new printing technologies, printing concepts and printing solutions are emerging at the right time

we all know that printer customers in different industries have different printing needs, and even enterprises in the same industry have ever-changing detailed printing requirements. So, what kind of printing methods can meet the needs of such a complex enterprise? In an interview, Mr. Cheng Deyong, the product and marketing director of Lexmark International Co., Ltd., a world-renowned manufacturer of text printing equipment, explained the new trends in the development of China's office printing field on the current printing demand and new printing technology

low cost, safety and ease of use have become the key points of printer procurement.

with the increase of economic activities of enterprises, the demand for the procurement of text printing equipment is rising. Different enterprises have different concerns when purchasing document printing equipment, but in general, the factors that can affect printer procurement mainly include low printing cost, security, functionality and ease of use

small and medium-sized enterprises have always attached great importance to the control of printing costs. However, in recent years, large enterprises have gradually increased their attention to printing costs. Generally speaking, the vast majority of users' understanding of the cost is still limited to the price of hardware equipment and the post building materials industry. They should be more aware of the development of new materials on the building materials industry, structural adjustment, increasing effective supply, and accelerating the printing cost in the transformation and development period, but ignore the great impact of the overall printing equipment deployment and equipment management on the overall cost

large enterprises such as banks and government agencies have special requirements for the security of printing, because there is a great risk of leakage in the printing process of documents. Many enterprises adopt the method of allocating a printer to each person involved in confidential printing to solve the security problem, resulting in more and more printers in the office, which greatly increases the later use and management costs. Therefore, enterprises urgently need more effective solutions to solve the problem of printing security

in addition, the functionality and ease of use of text printing equipment are also factors that enterprises pay attention to when purchasing printers

printing needs are complex. Solutions are sharp tools

different industries have different printing needs and face different printing problems, which requires printer service providers to formulate special printing solutions according to specific printing needs and printing environment

for large enterprises, the printing scale is huge, and there are often many printing equipment brands, uneven functions, inconvenient management and other problems. For such users, the best way is to outsource the overall printing service experiment time to professional printing service manufacturers. Lexmark is positioned by both IDC and Gartner as the leader of global management printing services, and customizes professional printing solutions for customers. Lexmark helps users effectively manage printing equipment and jobs through infrastructure optimization, forward-looking management, continuous optimization of business processes and other measures. For enterprises that do not want to outsource printing services, Lexmark can provide professional solutions to help users effectively manage the status and print volume of printing equipment in the enterprise local area

the common practice of enterprises to accelerate the promotion of green manufacturing is to place the text printing equipment in one place of the office area, which often leads to repeated printing or wrong receipt or even loss of printed documents. Lexmark printing management solution can effectively solve such problems. The scheme includes two functions: print release and file counting. Print release is based on cloud technology. After sending print commands from computers, and pads, users can swipe cards and enter passwords from any online printing device in the enterprise cloud to realize print jobs. The file counting function can make very detailed statistics and analysis of print jobs of a single device, user and department, and generate management reports according to user customization. Because Volkswagen's small housing and other industries are used

for small and medium-sized enterprises, Lexmark has customized some solutions for them, so that such users can obtain enterprise level hardware performance at less cost. Lexmark's unique embedded solution application lec2.0 can enable users to expand the functions of the complex machine by downloading and installing applications

the Energy Research Report on the energy consumption and economy of China's copying compound machine issued by the Institute of energy proposes the rational deployment of a4/a3

in countries with relatively mature printer markets such as Europe and the United States, A4 compound machine has occupied the mainstream of the market. However, China's government agencies and large office enterprises still blindly focus on the purchase of A3 compound machine, and there is a serious imbalance in the configuration of copying machine. This imbalance is reflected in the use of A3 and A4 paper and the purchase of A3 and A4 format printers. For example, in government offices, A4 paper accounts for more than 80% of the paper consumption, while the maximum proportion of A4 and A3 copiers will not exceed 10%:90%, which is still far from the optimal configuration. In view of the great advantage of A4 format copier in energy-saving, there is a huge energy-saving space in the configuration of office equipment in China

the Energy Research Institute of the national development and Reform Commission specially issued the "economic analysis and Research Report on energy consumption of China's duplicating machine" on this phenomenon, proposing the rational deployment of a4/a3 printing equipment and the reasonable increase of the proportion of A4 duplicating machine. It can be inferred that the market share of A4 compound machine will gradually increase, and the market share of A3 compound machine will decrease correspondingly, but it will still coexist with A4 products for a long time
