    If you are printing anything smaller than 11x17, you are probably better off using your highest quality office copier. But for wide format, popping graphics, or heavy bond paper (such as canvas or vinyl) the Canon imagePROGRAF is an amazing weapon to have in your arsenal. The actual machine and ink is less than my company was paying to outsource our larger printing needs.

    LRS can be expensive. It supports all kinds of printers and models. One location for drivers for the printer. You do not install a printer driver at each workstation. It uses a central driver stored on a server. Easy management of printers. Can be deployed through SCCM or other products. It can be expensive for small businesses. It has been designed for large enterprises.

    • VPSX is license based on the number of printers. You can have multiple VPSX servers. They do not charge extra for software licenses. As long as the total number of printers does not exceed a certain amount.
    • It has secure printing features that are really great. There is an additional cost for secure printing. We have about 150 secure printing licenses out of over 2800 printers.
    • You can manage multiple VPSX printers from any VPSX web login. As long as the configuration is corrected you should have no issue.
    • It can be integrated with AD. All groups and members are defined in AD, then at the application level, you can grant access to manage the product.
    • It can give you granular access for managing printers based on your company policy and requirements.
    • Upgrades are simple and quick.
    • Support has been outstanding.

    Support is great. They can hold your hand if you do not know. The support staff is well trained. If the support is unsure, they will bring another SME to help out right away. After hour support is quick to respond to the call.

    Having no experience in printing or graphic design, the Canon imagePROGRAF proved more user friendly and had less steps to learn for basic operation. Now I have learned to use the layout program, as well as routine maintenance (such as changing out paper rolls or ink) without depending on a tech or senior management having to assist me. Super user friendly!

    We were using HP printing and Novell iPrint. VPSX was really easy to manage and it was more efficient for Einstein.

    • Less FTE to manage products. It requires a minimum day to day maintenance if the setup is done properly.
    • We can review from the dashboard to see how many printers are having an issue. Number count.
    • It requires some time to learn the product.
