Printer, Scanner & Copier Hire

A Managed Print Service is a service offered by print providers to manage every aspect of your businesses printing machines, including environmental and cost efficiency. Most businesses don’t currently use a managed print service, and over the course of a year could be spending up to 15% of their annual budget on printing. By using a managed print service, you could cut that annual figure by up to 30%.

If your business relies heavily on document printing, you essentially have three options available to you. You print via a commercial printers, outright buy your equipment and manage it yourself, or employ the experts in managed printing to look after your expenditure and control excessive printing.
The benefits of using a print service include, but are not limited to, the following:

Assessing your print environment: An in depth office assessment to conduct an audit of your print fleet, we’ll also set up automatic tracking of the volume of printing on each machine.

Auditing your printer assets: We check that all machines are running as efficiently as possible; we also begin to track the expenditure on machine consumables such as toner, paper and ink.

Simplified Supplies & Service Management: Don’t waste your time shopping around for the right toner, paper, and ink, we’ll give you one point of contact for everything related to your printing.

Security & Compliance: Install optional PIN or card access solutions to track and monitor individual departments and charge for usage accordingly.

As the end of the calendar year draws ever closer, businesses are working hard to finalise deals, complete projects, and finish the year on a financial high. But what happens when your office equipment stops working and the smooth operation of your company is compromised?
 
For most businesses, the condition of their office equipment is solely their responsibility, which means if they do suffer an equipment failure or malfunction, it can take precious time trying to identify the problem and then resolve it. It doesn’t have to be this way though.

We are proud to be able to remotely monitor all our machines whilst they are out in the field, using our Data Capture Service System.

It is easy to forget about the build up of printing costs, a couple of sheets printed here, a couple of accidental colour copies there, they seem insignificant, but actually, they can build up to quite a substantial cost. Relax though – it is simple to change your printing habits and make your office run more efficiently and cost effective.
 
Draft Mode
 
If you absolutely have to print out an email, or a document that will only be seen by you or work colleagues, consider changing your print settings to print the document in draft mode. Darker colours will appear lighter and the text is less defined, but generally the difference to your print out is negligible compared to the money saved on printer ink. In some instances, you could be using up to half the amount of ink when printing in draft mode. If you need another reason to switch up your settings, draft mode can actually print faster!
 
Greyscale Printing
 
Colour printing costs more than black and white. So you should only be printing in full colour when absolutely necessary and when it is a final draft. The Greyscale setting will convert the colour in your document to a grey tone, saving you money on documents that are not final copies.
 
Double Sided Printing
 
Most printers will do duplex printing, so you should change your settings to ensure this is an automatic feature. A two page document prints on one page. A four page document prints on two pages. Six pages on three. Eight on four. Duplex printing will half the amount of pages needed for printing a document. This is perfect for reading through documents before they are ready to be finalised and printed to be handed to clients or managers.
 
Cheaper Paper
 
If you are printing documents on 90gsm paper, only for them to be shredded or recycled, ask yourself if that document could have been printed on 75gsm. The price difference over time is remarkable, and whilst you will notice a difference in quality, we don’t think it matters much for a document that is not vitally important. Save the good 90gsm stuff for when you absolutely need it and watch your printing costs plummet.
 
 
Follow these steps and you should start seeing the cost of your printing reduce, the way we see it, you can invest this money back into your company to help drive you to success!
