Why track printing costs…starting…..TODAY?

Even though printing costs are estimated to be approximately 3% of annual revenues, most businesses have no idea how much they’re spending. There are many reasons why this is the case.

· Consumables individually are low cost and don’t require authorizations

· Many times there is no centralized purchasing and each department is responsible for their own supplies

· Senior management doesn’t have these costs on their radar

· Supplies are often hidden under “general expenses.”

Businesses that don’t track printing are susceptible to employees using copiers, printers, and multifunction printers for personal use and/or wasting paper and toner by printing documents they don’t need. Other wasteful printing practices include:

· Replacing toner when the warning light comes on. Sometimes these warnings appear when as much as 25% of the toner is left.

· Only printing on one side of the paper

· Using color when black and white will suffice

· Printing web pages with all the ads and pictures
