Monitoring the True Cost of Network Printing

Traditionally desktop and network printers have always been purchased with little regard to the total cost of ownership over the lifetime of the product.

With the advent of digital printing and the associated extremely low total cost of ownership, it has become ever more important to identify and replace printers that are inefficient and needlessly expensive to operate.

Implementing and monitoring a cost effective printing solution can help a company make massive savings. However, the true cost of network printing has been always been extremely difficult, if not impossible, to determine. That has now changed.

A large but intangible amount of money is spent on document production, companies face increasing costs with no way of measuring why?. If you could clearly identify 25%, 50% or even higher annual savings on the cost of network printing would you make changes? Of course you would. But first you have to identify where the time and money is being lost.

For example, could you at present accurately answer the following questions?

	How many printers do you have on your network(s)?
	How many pages does each printer produce every day?
	What is the average Toner Coverage on a page?
	How much does each page cost?
	What is the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?
	Could you significantly cut the cost of printing but increase End User productivity?

It is more than likely that your answers were "I don't know" to one or more of the above.

If this is the case then we can help you to identify your true network printing cost and implement a solution to help save you money on your day-to-day printing requirements.
