Have you noticed you’re replacing your copier’s color toner more often? Lately, does it seem like you’re refilling the paper trays all the time? Is someone in the office suddenly printing a lot more full-color documents for a new work assignment?
Did you know that it’s becoming more common for employees to print from the internet? If you’ve ever printed from a web browser, you know that it can be extremely wasteful – printing blank pages and pages with content you don’t need or want.
Does Managed Print Services really save businesses money? Let’s take a look at two businesses. One is on an MPS (Managed Print Services) plan and the other is not. The company without MPS purchases re-manufactured* toner cartridges to save money. Let’s say this toner costs $100, yields 2,500 pages, and the toner on each black & white print covers 5% of the page; they pay 4 cents per page. A black & white print with 20% toner coverage costs them 16 cents! Any maintenance or service required is an additional cost.
