Office technology is evolving rapidly, and modern copiers are playing a central role in that transformation. No longer just “copy machines,” today’s multifunction printers (MFPs) have become smart hubs for productivity, document management, and stronger layers of security.
At Document Solutions, we help New Jersey businesses stay ahead of these changes by delivering the latest copier and office technology solutions. Below are the top copier trends for 2025 and 2026 and how your business can benefit.
1. Cloud-Connected Copiers for the Hybrid Office
Modern work requires flexibility. New copiers connect directly to platforms like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Dropbox, making it easy for employees to print, scan, and share documents securely from anywhere.
For hybrid and remote teams, this means smoother collaboration and fewer IT challenges. Document Solutions integrates these cloud-printing tools into your workflow so your team stays connected no matter where they’re working.
2. AI and Predictive Maintenance
Artificial intelligence is now built into the latest copier models. These devices monitor performance, detect potential issues early, and predict toner or part replacements before downtime occurs.
With Document Solutions’ Managed Print Services, toner shipments are automated and maintenance is proactive, keeping your business running without last-minute disruptions.
3. Copier Safeguards as Part of Defense-in-Depth
Since copiers are now networked devices, it’s important to treat them like any other technology in your office that needs proper safeguards. Newer models come with features such as:
– Print job encryption (when enabled)
– User authentication and secure release printing (when enabled)
– Options to lock down access and settings
At Document Solutions, we recommend enabling these safeguards as part of a layered defense strategy. Along with updated firmware and proactive IT support, copiers can become another point of strength—not a weakness—in your overall security posture.
4. Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Printing
Sustainability is no longer optional, it’s a business requirement. The latest copiers include:
– Energy-efficient printing modes
– Automatic duplex (double-sided) printing
– Toner and parts recycling programs
Our Eco-Friendly Printing Solutions help New Jersey businesses lower costs, reduce waste, and meet corporate sustainability goals.
5. Expanding Beyond Paper
Multifunction printers today can do more than office copies. Businesses can now handle in-house marketing pieces, labels, and specialty media with professional finishes.
This reduces outsourcing costs and speeds up turnaround times. Document Solutions helps companies select the right device for their advanced printing needs.
6. Managed Print and Document Solutions
The biggest office technology shift is the adoption of Managed Print Services (MPS). Instead of juggling multiple vendors and unpredictable expenses, businesses can rely on a single partner to handle:
– Device monitoring
– Workflow optimization
– Cost control
– Automated supply replenishment
Document Solutions delivers end-to-end MPS so your office runs smarter, faster, and more cost-effectively.
