How To Reduce Printing Costs
When it comes to your outgoings, there is one area that you’ll likely always be able to make savings on and that’s your office printing costs.
Any business, no matter the size and no matter what industry or sector it’s in, will always be concerned with how to cut costs without affecting output and productivity. It’s very much a balancing act and, most likely, you’ll find that your priorities change over time in this regard.
When it comes to your outgoings, however, there is one area that you’ll likely always be able to make savings on and that’s your office printing costs.
One of the biggest expenditures in any business is the printing and it’s not just the actual printouts that will set you back… you’ve also got to factor in electricity, ink, paper and maintenance fees if the appliances break.
So what can be done to reduce the associated costs while ensuring that you can still meet the needs of your business?
One of the best ways to go about driving down costs and still remaining productive at work is to consider photocopier rental, a move that could potentially save you up to 35 per cent… which is certainly not to be sneezed at!
Hiring a machine means you’ll be able to take full advantage of the latest technology, as well as benefiting from service add-ons like fast and reliable local support if a problem does rear its head.
Also take a look around the office and see how many printers you have on site. If everyone has their own printer, you can bet it’ll be costing you a pretty penny. Perhaps now’s the time to think about investing in larger shared multifunction printers instead.
And, of course, user awareness is absolutely key when it comes to driving down printing costs. Encourage your members of staff to print in draft quality where appropriate, to only use colour printing when absolutely necessary and to use multi-page printing options as necessary.
You’ll soon find that with just a few little changes here and there, your printing costs are significantly reduced. So give it a go today!
