“Simplicity and time are crucial to business, and productivity increases when everyday jobs are accomplished without interruption,” said Zul Azri, founder, Generic Resources. “The HP SmartClick program has enabled us to meet our customer’s budget on both color and mono prints through significantly lower cost per print with better print quality and robust production speeds.”
