Print Migration - 3 for 2 Special Offers

On average, within businesses employing greater than 25 people there are approximately nine mono and three colour print devices to every one photocopier.

It is well proven that printers are comparatively more expensive and variable in their cost to run for the same given volume of print than the copier, whilst not including full maintenance and immediately responsive service support.

Commonly that is the traditional paradigm of a cheap to buy, high unit sale products. The digital photocopier on the other hand is a diametrically opposed value proposition; relatively expensive to buy or rent yet generally at least four to ten times cheaper to run with a fixed, fully inclusive cost per page that delivers business critical service support. 

What you may not know...

Print volumes have been increasing exponentially for a few years now whilst copier volumes have remained flat if not slightly diminishing. It is clear to see that with the resulting ease, convenience and uncontrollability of mono and colour printers the hidden yet very real costs to an organisation is colossal, and as mentioned above, in the case of some colour output devices over 10 times that of what it need be.

Advances in digital copier technology has facilitated the ability for businesses to have a choice in how documents are produced and returning control of expenditure back to organisational control while at the same time significantly increasing users productivity. 

Print Migration Model:

Local

Existing printers normally produce 5 times the prints of a departmental copier

If X = 50000, printer costs can be £2000 especially with higher than 5% page coverage

Colour printers are increasingly required for producing quality documents. If Y = 600, colour printer costs can total £500 when fully accounted for with higher than 5% page coverage per colour.

Grouped

Mono / Colour multifunctional devices give the best of both worlds but

If X + Z = 60000, mono prints/copies total £510

If Y = 600, colour prints total £54

**Saving around £2,000 per month**

Remote

Existing photocopier producing 1x copies

If Z = 10000, copier running cost can be £100

The key to achieving financial success and increase staff performance requires that the whole picture be considered.
