No one who deals with IT and managing budgets for IT gets excited about tracking down all of the costs associated with printers. First, there is the cost of the printer, then the setup, then toner cartridges you may buy as spares, then the toners and drums based on the device usage, then repairs, service plans, and finally tracking it to see when the next printer should be placed. 

For an average printer, this could end up being 20+ invoices before device end of life. Now if you have 25 printers, you are talking 500-plus invoices over five years to organize. Even when you have all of the costs, how do you know how you are doing as it pertains to cost per print? Or which specific printer is costing the most (assuming you have multiples of the same printer model.)

Managed print in Hilton Head is all about helping you understand the nuances of print. You will know down to the 1/10 of a penny what each printer costs, see which printers are more expensive to run, and see if that per-print cost is going up or down over time. 

Managing print is important because you cannot make your print environment better if you have no idea where it is today. This is why we always push for a print audit. What this involves is putting a data collection device on one of your computers, which will look for every printer and give all the details including page count, make, model, firmware version, etc. 

We can use this information to ensure you are using the printers that are doing the best job and running at the lowest price points for your business (with possible exceptions like a marketing printer being allowed.)
