Synonymous with the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s, it seems that in many modern offices printing has taken somewhat of a backseat role. Of course, the days of printing 24/7 and a long queue waiting to use the machine are to a great extent over. Though that doesn’t necessarily mean the practice is extinct, in fact, the reality is quite the contrary. The office, in fact, depends on the printer for a huge amount of administrative work and without it, most things would grind to a halt.
A brief history
The printer completely transformed the working environment after its introduction and with the invention of the internet and desktop computers, the office entered a new age. This new frontier for working environments meant a few things for the office. For one, it was now far easier and quicker to produce simple documents, and the population of high street offices plummeted as a result. Gone were the days of several people working to produce an article. Now a job that may have perhaps taken two or three people an hour was now a one-man five-minute affair.
So, considering all of this, why is printing still an essential part of office life and is it really that popular?
Safety
The fact is that nothing really beats a physical copy. Let's say your work involves some private information about a certain client or job. If this is the case, then the last thing you or your clients want or need is a plethora of documents drifting around on a computer. After all, computers can be hacked or stolen and then you’re risking a leak of personal information.
Convenience
Maybe you’re organising a training day, or perhaps you need to step out of the office to complete an audit or some advisory work. If so, then having a fact sheet or checklist for your work clearly printed out is extremely useful. After all, phones can run out of battery and nothing beats the clarity of print.
