Printers and Printer Supplies

Printer supplies typically refer to consumables like toner cartridges, drums, fuser units, and maintenance kits required to keep a printer or MFP running. Southern Office Machines offers auto-replenishment programs and online ordering to ensure your office never runs out of essential toner and supplies.

The best manufacturer depends on your needs, but Sharp is widely regarded for Common Criteria Certified security, reliability, and integrated MFP technology. Southern Office Machines partners with Sharp to deliver factory-trained service and support across corporate, healthcare, and government sectors in Metro Atlanta.

A laser printer performs printing only, while a multifunction printer (MFP) combines printing, copying, scanning, and faxing in a single device. MFPs are ideal for offices seeking to consolidate equipment, streamline workflows, and reduce the total footprint of office technology.

The right option depends on budget and usage. Purchasing suits long-term ownership, leasing offers lower upfront costs with predictable payments, and renting provides flexibility for short-term or fluctuating needs. Southern Office Machines offers all three options with tailored invoicing to fit your business.

MPS reduces costs by monitoring usage, automating meter readings, enforcing print rules, and auto-replenishing toner before it runs out. This proactive fleet management can significantly cut unmanaged printing expenses, which often exceed 3% of a company's annual revenue.

Modern MFPs and printers include 256-bit AES encryption, up to 7-times data overwriting, Data Security Kits (DSK), audit trail logging, and End-Of-Lease data erasure. Sharp devices also offer Common Criteria Certified security options for government and healthcare compliance requirements.
