Print Assessments
To reduce overall printing costs and improve document workflow you need to start with the basics:
- - How many printers, copiers and MFPs do you have?
- - Who uses them, and how much?
- - What is the balance of color versus black-and-white printing?
For most workplaces, even the best-managed ones, these numbers are unknown. A Print Assessment is a quick, hassle free way of obtaining this vital information.
What Exactly Is A Print Assessment?
A Print Assessment is a department-by-department review and evaluation of laser printer, copier and mfp equipment, end-user needs, physical location, device utilization and overall page volume.
How Does A Print Assessment Lower Print Costs?
The information gained during the Print Assessment provides baseline information that is used in modeling alternate configurations of your printing fleet. It provides an accurate picture of current costs which are then compared to the alternate configurations for cost benefit analysis.
Proper Deployment For Optimal Use
Print Assessments show us where the heavy use is, so you can allocate the right equipment for right the job. Often we find printers operating beyond their efficiency point, causing premature failures and high maintenance costs.
Inversely the Print Assessment will highlight under-utilized equipment, which can be reassigned to high demand areas for better fleet usage and efficiency. Often times we find that costs can be lowered with a simple re-deployment of current assets, to use them in a more effective and efficient manner.
In essence - the Print Assessment helps us architect a balanced fleet deployment, with low volume devices deployed to low demand areas, and high volume devices deployed to high demand areas. This optimal deployment ensures that you get the most for your dollar, extends the life of your equipment and reduces the amount of failures and services calls for your fleet.
