How can Sound Power Solutions help Olympia and South Puget Sound teams better manage print quality, cost, and security?
As print demands grow across HR, healthcare, assisted living, financial management, and warehouse operations in Olympia and the South Puget Sound, keeping quality, security, and costs aligned gets more complex. This one-pager highlights Brother Workhorse color laser printers and all-in-one devices, including the HL-L8570cdw and MFC-L8970cdw, and outlines features that help improve print quality, support document security, and streamline workflows. Sound Power Solutions can help you evaluate these devices, integrate them into your managed services strategy, strengthen cybersecurity around printed information, and support better collaboration across your teams.
What makes the Brother HL-L8570CDW and MFC-L8970CDW cost-effective?
Both the HL-L8570CDW printer and the MFC-L8970CDW all-in-one are designed to keep your total cost of ownership in check.
Key cost-related points:
- **High-yield toner cartridges**: They ship with high in-box toner and support high-yield replacement cartridges. This means you get more pages per cartridge, which helps lower your cost per page.
- **Business-focused design**: These models are built for ongoing office use, so you’re not just saving on supplies, but also on downtime and maintenance compared with more basic devices.
If you’re looking to manage long-term print budgets rather than just the upfront purchase price, the combination of **high in-box yields** and **high-yield replacements** is where most of the savings come from.
What kind of print quality and performance can we expect?
These Workhorse series devices are built for everyday business use where professional output matters.
From a quality standpoint:
- They deliver **fast, lifelike color** and **sharp black text**, which works well for client-facing documents, presentations, and internal reports.
From a performance standpoint:
- They’re designed for **reliable business performance**, meaning consistent output for teams that print regularly.
- Paper handling is flexible, with **expandable paper capacity** and support for **custom media and envelopes**, so you can adapt the device to your team’s volume and document types.
In short, they’re a good fit if you need office-ready speed and quality without moving to a production-level device.
How do these printers connect and keep our data secure?
The HL-L8570CDW and MFC-L8970CDW are built to fit into modern, connected offices while keeping security in mind.
Connectivity options include:
- **Wireless and network sharing**: You can connect them to your office network for shared use. Wireless printing may require connecting the device to a wireless network.
- **Mobile device printing**: You can print from compatible mobile devices. Compatibility can vary by device and operating system, and some features may require a free download.
- **Scan-to-cloud from the touchscreen** (MFC-L8970CDW): You can send documents directly to popular cloud services from the device’s touchscreen, which requires an Internet connection and an account with the chosen service.
Security features:
- **Triple Layer Security** is built in to help protect the **device**, the **documents**, and the **network**. This layered approach is designed to reduce risk at multiple points in your print and scan workflows.
Together, these capabilities help you reimagine how printing and scanning fit into your connected, security-conscious workplace.
