Miami, FL

Whether you are a company in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, or West Palm Beach, many of your IT services can be managed. One area that often lags behind the rest of the IT infrastructure is print. Print is notoriously difficult to manage because of the number of service tickets that tend to come up. 

The variable cost of printing can also prove to be problematic. For example, toner can cost a different amount to do 5,000 pages on the same printer in one month vs another, even if all costs for toner and drums are exactly the same.

It would seem that 5,000 pages should cost the same to print if the costs of all the supplies are the same. But as you get deeper into managing print, you find out nothing could be further from the truth. When a toner cartridge says it is good for 10,000 pages at five percent coverage, the key is there are two variables at play.

There is the 10,000-page expected yield and five percent coverage. If you printed the exact same 5,000 prints in the second month as you did the first, and all costs were the same, in that case you would expect the monthly costs to be within a super tight range. 

But what happens if you print four percent coverage during month one and six percent coverage in month two, because your team decided to add your logo to all the invoices in month two?

These are some of the areas print management is trying to understand for you. What is the effective print cost per page, and what can we do (like change print resolution, look at print type or even what devices jobs are being printed on.) These factors require experts who understand your printers, their costs, and how to best optimize your entire print fleet.
