Get ready for HP+ and learn more about the smarter printing system that ensures your printer is always ready when you are.

Just like the introduction of HP Instant Ink, HP have changed the game once again with the launch of HP+ – a brand new smarter printing system that is more secure, more productive, and more sustainable than ever!

At Banner we’re delighted to be able to offer several HP Printers that utilise this revolutionary new printing system including:

If you'd like your organisation to play its part in the circular economy and improve its sustainability, your choice of printer cartridges could be one of the answers.

Here are six reasons why original HP cartridges are a good step towards more environmentally-friendly print.  

With the Pandemic ensuing turbulence on work life for the past 15 months, a return to pre-pandemic office life is becoming a more frequent discussion these days.

However, it’s suggested that buzz words such as ‘hybrid’ and ‘flexible’ working will still be around for a long while…

With the mass becoming remote workers throughout the pandemic, it doesn’t mean the end of the physical office is upon us. Predictions are that offices will become more hub-based locations for remote workers to meet and collaborate, which means technology will become key to success. These tech-centred spaces will require the usual suspects (Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc) paired with hardware that makes the workspaces interactive and connectable. This switch in working dynamic will require seamless working between locations to ensure productivity is never compromised.

You could save up to 70% on your usual printer ink usage when you introduce yourself or your employees to HP Instant INK - Here's how you can sign up and reap the benefits today.

Whether you are working from home, getting ready to return to the office, or doing a mixture of both, there’s never been a better time to introduce yourself or your employees to HP Instant Ink!

Instead of worrying about running low on printing ink, setting up a HP Instant Ink monthly plan with Banner will measure the number of pages you are expecting to print, instead of the amount of ink you are likely to use!

There are more opportunities now than ever before to make a difference when it comes to making a sustainable impact when purchasing printing supplies.

HP are leading the way when it comes to being sustainability heroes, thanks to their HP Planet Partners programme and closed-loop recycling scheme.

By choosing Original HP printing supplies, you are making a strong environmental choice when it comes to protecting some of the world's essential resources.

Take a look at some of the statistics behind HP's sustainability programme:

It's a legal requirement for anyone operating a business which handles personal data to fully comply with the rule of the GDPR, and this extends to ensuring all employees are aware of the obligations to securely destroy personal documents to avoid data breach.

As more employees work remotely, businesses must still remain compliant with the GDPR. Employees accessing sensitive data at home may be at risk of breaking rules, especially where paper data is involved.  

We're sponsoring the Northern Universities Purchasing Consortia virtual conference 2021 

Banner is delighted to announce that we are the headline sponsor at this years NWUPC & NEUPC (North Western Universities Purchasing Consortium & North Eastern Universities Purchasing Consortium) virtual conference, on the 17th June 2021.

Join us for a day of engaging workshops and networking opportunities. Visit our virtual booth to see how we can prepare you for a post-COVID learning environment, and enable you to achieve your goals through all-round smart procurement.

We support the safe re-opening of universities by providing the products and services needed to refresh the educational environment, and protect students and colleagues alike.

From supporting organisations as they seek eco-friendlier products, to helping calculate potential reductions in CO² emissions, water and energy use, we know every little step can make a difference to making more sustainable choices.

But we also know achieving sustainability doesn’t always seem easy. In one survey* of 300 companies, only 2% were able to ‘achieve or exceed the sustainability expectations that were set’, and 81% of businesses ‘settled for the dilution of value and mediocre sustainability performance’.

After a few false starts, spring has officially sprung. That means longer days and more sunshine, warmer weather, and more time spent outdoors.

But if you’re one of the approximate 28 million people in Europe who suffer from allergies, this time of year might also mean congestion, watery and itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing, irritated skin, and general discomfort.
