Once used solely to put ink on paper, today’s printers and copiers have evolved into smart, connected devices built for the digital age. These multifunctional systems help businesses cut costs, support hybrid teams, and protect sensitive information in ways traditional machines never could.
“Modern printers do a lot more than people think,” said Joe McFarlane, Printer and Hardware Engineer at Kustura Technologies, based in Gainesville and Jacksonville, Florida. “Set up right, they save money, work faster, and keep data secure.” From cost efficiency to cybersecurity, brands like Kyocera’s ECOSYS and TASKalfa are redefining what office technology can do. Energy-saving components reduce waste and lower long-term costs, cloud-ready features keep hybrid teams connected, and built-in safeguards protect sensitive data at every step.
Cutting Costs Without Cutting Corners
Printing used to be one of the biggest hidden expenses in the office. Between constant toner replacements, high energy use, and wasted paper, costs added up fast. Kyocera’s ECOSYS line changes that with a focus on sustainability and long-term savings.
Each ECOSYS device is built around durable components designed to last hundreds of thousands of pages — reducing waste and maintenance. Features like energy-saving sleep modes, duplex (double-sided) printing by default, and high-yield toner cartridges keep operating costs low without sacrificing quality or speed.
The ECOSYS PA2101cwx, a compact color printer built for small offices, combines quick warm-up times with energy-efficient components to lower utility bills and minimize downtime. For larger teams, the ECOSYS PA5500x delivers up to 57 pages per minute while maintaining a low cost per print and supporting advanced data protection.
“Kyocera’s ECOSYS models are made to last,” McFarlane said. “You’re not replacing parts every few months, and that reliability translates directly into savings.”
Those efficiencies create what Kyocera calls a total cost of ownership (TCO) advantage — a measurable return on investment that comes from smarter design rather than constant replacement.
Meeting the Needs of Hybrid Work
The modern workplace is no longer defined by a single location. As hybrid and remote work become standard, printers need to match the flexibility of the cloud. Kyocera’s multifunction devices make it easy for teams to print, scan, and share securely, wherever they work.
Models like the ECOSYS MA2600cwx support mobile printing, scan-to-email, and cloud integration — including connectivity with platforms such as Microsoft SharePoint using Kyocera Cloud Access.
“Remote work changed the game,” McFarlane said. “Now it’s not just about what a printer can do in one office — it’s about how easily it connects across locations. These newer models give businesses that flexibility without performance trade-offs.”
Securing Sensitive Information
Printers may not be the first thing people think of when they hear “cybersecurity,” but they store information just like computers.
Every print job, scan, and email travels through the network — and without the proper protections, those documents can become a vulnerability.
Kyocera’s TASKalfa and ECOSYS lines feature enterprise-grade security measures that safeguard information at every stage. Built-in user authentication, data encryption, and secure print release ensure access is limited to authorized users only. Some models also include automatic data overwrite, erasing residual data from internal memory after each job.
For industries that handle sensitive records — healthcare, legal, financial — this level of security isn’t optional. When printers are configured as part of the overall IT strategy, they strengthen an organization’s first line of defense.
Why Local Expertise Still Matters
Even the most advanced devices require the right setup and support. That’s the difference between simply buying hardware and working with a team that understands how each device fits into a broader IT environment.
