Printing

We get it — office supplies, especially printers, can get pricey. That’s why we’ve come up with some great options for you. Just follow this guide to set up our printing options, and don’t hesitate to reach out to our team if you need any help!  

Just a heads-up: while we do offer printing options to make your day easier, there might be extra charges if you’re running the printer in excess.
