The Best Printers for Large Businesses

A large office has very different requirements from a small one. Volume, speed, uptime and security all come into sharper focus when a printer is supporting fifty people instead of five. The wrong device creates queues, service calls and frustrated staff. The right one becomes infrastructure: reliable, fast and out of the way. Here is what to look for, and which devices perform in high-demand environments.

What large businesses actually need from a printer

High monthly volume capacity

Large offices regularly print tens of thousands of pages per month. The device needs to be built for it, not rated for 5,000 pages and run at twice that volume.

Look for A3 multifunction devices rated for 50,000 to 150,000 or more pages per month. These are engineered for consistent output without elevated service frequency.

Speed that matches the team

When twenty or more people are sending print jobs through a single device, print speed matters. For a large office, look for devices with speeds above 45 pages per minute. High-throughput environments benefit from 55 ppm and above.

Finishing and workflow capability

Large offices often produce bound documents, board packs and client materials that require stapling, hole-punching or booklet making. These finishing features are available on high-end A3 multifunction devices and make a meaningful difference to teams that produce regular formatted output.

Security

A shared device in a large office is a security consideration. Modern A3 multifunction devices include secure print release, user authentication, encrypted storage and end-to-end document security. For enterprise environments, these are not optional extras.

Reliability and service

High-volume devices carry more load, and when they stop, a large office feels it immediately. The service agreement matters as much as the device itself. Scope BI resolves 98% of service calls on the first visit. Our Perth metro response time is two hours. For regional WA operations, our Karratha and Port Hedland teams provide on-the-ground coverage across the Pilbara.

Leasing makes more sense at scale

Large offices rarely purchase high-end multifunction devices outright. A bundled lease agreement covers the equipment, ongoing servicing, maintenance and consumables in one predictable monthly cost.

For large teams, this removes the capital commitment and puts service responsibility where it belongs: with the supplier. Scope BI offers lease terms from 12 to 60 months. We can structure an agreement around your volume, locations and budget.

Service coverage across WA

If your operation spans multiple WA locations, Scope can support it. Our teams are based in Perth, Bunbury, Karratha and Port Hedland. We hold local parts stock, which means faster response and less downtime when something goes wrong.
