Have you considered using managed printing?
Managed printing improves efficiency and reduces printing costs by making sure the right printer is used for the job in hand. Print costs continue to grow and keeping control of them is a challenge.
Printers can be in various locations, and serving different workgroups with quite different needs. Making sure all your business needs are met in a cost effective way will save money. Having printers accessible to the various users of the network, and getting the most from a printer makes a big difference to the cost of running them.
Some printers, known as multi-function devices, include a scanner. Having these scanners shared on the network can increase productivity by people being able to access their scans from a central location. Using a scanned copy of a document can further reduce cost by storing an electronic copy of a document. This copy can then be used to avoid reprinting, or make them available for reprint at anytime.
Improving your printing and imaging by moving to a managed printing environment comprises of several steps, including:
- Optimising your network infrastructure.
- Determining your printing needs.
- Managing the environment.
- Improving workflow.
Big savings can be made on print costs. By planning, and putting in place a managed printing solution as part of your printing infrastructure. Using managed printing to make sure you get the most from your money, makes sense!
