6 Ways Print Management Works

Print management is a tool that businesses use to reduce their printing costs and organize processes and policies. Here are six ways that print management works.

1. Printer Fleet Reduction

Your printing devices cost your company more than just what you paid upfront. There is the total cost of ownership which includes paper, consumables, and maintenance. Then there is the cost of downtime when a machine is broken more than working. Print management will analyze these elements and report back.

2. Reduce Print Volumes

Print management is a strategy used to reduce costs. With in-depth access to data, you will be able to figure out how to stop paper waste and optimized printing processes.

3. Improve Security

You may have user-authentication and activity tracking, but print management will encrypt your device data to add an additional level of security. Your printer has a hard drive that stores data sent to it through print jobs, so it’s an important step not to miss.

4. Control and Accountability

Print management works on the production side, but also on the systems side. If you are always running out of paper and ink without a backup, it can slow down productivity. Print management puts you on a schedule for ordering that is efficient and saves money.

5. Reduce Environmental Impact

While the primary goal of print management is to cut costs, you will also increase your sustainability. With less paper and energy used your part in protecting the environment is done by keeping print volumes low.

6. Increase Efficiency

Print management takes over your printing infrastructure. You can focus on business-critical tasks instead of figuring out how to cut costs while still be efficient.

Print management will eliminate any device or process that is not beneficial. It creates an environmentally friendly company that is still efficient. To learn more, call us today!
