HP Delivers Effortless, Secure and Sustainable Printing Solutions Designed for Small Businesses
August 25 2022 - 8:15AM
Today at HP Amplify™ Executive Forum, HP Inc’s (NYSE: HPQ) annual
partner roadshow, the company introduced HP Instant Ink for small
business and the new LaserJet Pro with HP+ designed to simplify
technology management for small business owners. With a single
Instant Ink account, small businesses automatically receive
device-specific supplies (ink or toner) for multiple devices in
multiple locations. Combined with advanced features on the new
LaserJet Pro with HP+, an Instant Ink subscription can help small
businesses save time and money, makes recycling cartridges easy,
and protects and restores forests around the world.
“No one listens to the needs of small business and responds like
HP. Entrepreneurs need printing to be effortless – from the set-up
process to ordering supplies to monitoring security,” said Xavier
Garcia, Global Head of Print Hardware Systems at HP. “HP Instant
Ink for small business and the new LaserJet Pro with HP+, is an
intuitive printing system requiring minimal management so that
small business owners can dedicate their time and energy to growing
their businesses.”
Responding to the Needs of Small Businesses
To navigate an increasingly challenging economy, and position
themselves for long-term growth, small business owners need new
processes, ways of working and technologies to boost their
productivity. Over 80 percent of small businesses rely on printing
to run their business, according to a survey of small business
owners conducted with Morning Consult. Yet, 55 percent say they do
not have time to manage the technology.
One small business owner surveyed said, “Managing printers is
not a very efficient use of time or energy.” With a second business
decision maker surveyed saying, “Everything is becoming more and
more automated. Perhaps this could also be applied to printers. It
would be nice if the machines could order ink and toner on their
own.”
Survey respondents say they need a multi-functional printer that
is simple to set up and effortless to manage, with automatic ink
and toner cartridge reminders and the ability to pair seamlessly
across multiple devices.

business and the new LaserJet Pro with HP+ are:
