Know Your True Print Costs


The Cost of Printing
Operation cost makes up over half of the total lifecycle cost of a piece of office equipment. With 80% of an average office's paper output is on laser printers, this is an expense worthy of attention. And, according to IDC Research, page volumes will continue to increase.

We believe we can reduce total print output costs by as much as 30%
Laser printers have a high cost of operation. Many of our clients are surprised when they learn how expensive it is to output pages on a printer that had such a low initial purchase price.

There are no guaranteed print cartridge yields
With printers, you purchase print cartridges when they run out. Often these expensive cartridges end up buried inside the office supplies budget.

It's hard to know exactly how many pages you will get from your cartridge since the yield depends on how much toner is on each page. Each cartridge has a stated yield based on just 5% of the page covered in toner. If 10% of the page is covered, the yield is cut in half and the cost doubles. With today's documents containing pictures, logos and lines, average coverage is conservatively estimated at 20% of the page. This means that the true cost per page could be over four times higher than the cost based on the stated yield.

Two Savings Strategies
Obviously you need laser printers to run your business. However, there are several strategies that can help you lower your output costs by an average of real savings of 30%.

Strategy 1: Move Large Jobs to Fixed Cost Devices with a Low Output Cost
Our Multifunctional Systems offer high speed printing at a FIXED COST PER PAGE. Our cost per copy agreements include toner. This means you will know exactly what your costs are. It doesn't matter if your copies have 5%, 10% or 50% of the page covered, your low cost is fixed and we bear the risk.

Even more, our cost per page plan includes on-site maintenance. For a lower per page expense than your printers, you have the peace of mind of knowing that if your system needs preventative maintenance or service attention, we will have a professional technician on site to quickly resolve the problem at no additional expense to you.

Strategy 2: Use More Economical Printer Supplies
