You Don’t Need a New Printer—You Need a Print Partner
Published By: Eric Johannson | Mon Jun 09, 2025
Have you ever been wasting time staring down a paper jam, a toner error, or a slow printer that’s making your day harder than it needs to be? When those issues stack up, the first instinct is often: we need a new printer.
Here’s the thing—replacing hardware might offer a temporary boost, but it’s not a long-term solution. The truth is that the problem usually isn’t the printer, it’s the lack of a print partner.
At Carlyle Powered by WBM Technologies, we make print simple and reliable. We handle your print environment behind the scenes, so you can focus on what matters most. That means having a plan, a partner, and the kind of proactive service that keeps things running smoothly day in and day out.
The Real Cost of Unmanaged Printing
When businesses try to manage print in-house or lean on ad-hoc solutions, things start to slip. Supplies run low at the wrong time. Maintenance gets put off until it's too late. Usage goes untracked, and costs quietly climb.
You end up chasing issues instead of focusing on your team’s real work. The real cost of unmanaged printing is not just found in the dollars spent on new equipment, but also the productivity cost to your team.
That’s where Carlyle Powered by WBM technologies introduces a smarter way forward.
Powered by Partnership: Affinity’s Print Journey
As one of the largest credit unions in Canada, Affinity Credit Union understands the importance of a consistent, clean, and cost-efficient print environment.
Through WBM’s managed print services, Affinity reduced global print costs, automated its supplies management, and improved its environmental footprint across 66 company locations.
What You Get with a Print Partner
1. Proactive Support & Remote Monitoring
Before your team even knows there's a paper feed issue, we’ve spotted it, logged in remotely, and resolved it. With Carlyle’s managed print services, we keep an eye on your devices 24/7. That means we detect issues before you even notice them, and resolve many of them remotely, without disrupting your day.
2. Clear Insights & Reporting
We give you visibility into your print environment, including what’s being printed, where, and how often, so you can make informed decisions, control costs, and uncover opportunities to streamline.
3. Automatic Supply Fulfillment
You’ll never run out of toner again. Our system monitors usage and sends you supplies automatically when they’re needed. No more frantic office supply runs or bulk orders that sit in storage collecting dust.
4. Local Service that Shows Up
When onsite support is needed, we’re there. Our technicians are part of your community, and we pride ourselves on showing up with the parts, expertise, and care to get things back on track fast.
5. A Team That’s in It With You
We don’t disappear after the install. We’re part of your extended team, working alongside you to adapt your print environment as your business grows and changes.
It’s About Partnership, Not Products
Yes, we make sure you have the right hardware, but that’s just step one. What really matters is everything that comes after: proactive service, remote monitoring, fast support, and a team that’s always in your corner.
Whether you're a growing business trying to rein in print costs, or an organization tired of chasing toner and dealing with downtime, you don’t need a new printer. You need a print partner who’s invested in your outcomes.
Let’s talk about what’s working, what’s not, and how Carlyle Powered by WBM technologies can help take the pressure off your print environment for good.
