There are many companies in Pittsburgh that have a fleet of laser printers. Some of these companies have their printers under a simple cost-per-print plan. Other companies choose to have their devices not under contract, and they just purchase toner and supplies when needed. 

There are different strategies when it comes to taking care of printers. We would like to propose another method of taking care of printers - managed print.

If you are wondering what managed print is all about, it is very similar to what most companies are used to when they sign copier contracts. There is a fixed rate per page. 

Where managed print is different is a managed print provider is actually trying to make your costs lower or improve your efficiency as part of their service. They know to keep your business, they need to provide more value than simply getting you toner cartridges.

What Value Add-Ons Do You Get With Managed Print?

There are different services we offer to help ensure we deliver on the value we promise our clients. Here are some of the services we offer:

• Inventory control - no one should have supply closets jammed full of toners and drums. This is a potential cost risk, and these items can expire. Having a device agent to track usage and toner levels is critical to print management.
• Utilization improvement - Within any printer fleet there are bound to be some devices doing too many prints and others not doing enough. We will identify the printers for a possible swap for your team.
• Replacement planning - We are not trying to get you to change out all your printers today. With most companies, we are able to keep what you have now, and simply improve your situation. You end up with the same devices and pages printed, but have fewer mechanical issues and lower costs.

If you would like to talk about getting a managed print program here in the Pittsburgh area, we would love to help organize and optimize your printer fleet.
