3 Ways to Reduce Your Printing Costs

It can seem impossible to increase your efficiency and lower your printing costs in the office, particularly when it appears like your office technology is working against you, not for you. But there are many ways that you can reduce your printing costs without compromising your productivity. Here are a few of our favorite best practices that will get your print environment optimized and operating at top efficiency.

The Best Ways to Save Money on Printing Costs

It may seem like a complicated mess when you start wading into ways to reduce your printing costs. But frankly, spending time assessing what your current print practices are will get you on the right path.

1. Assess: The best place to start when you're trying to reduce your printing costs is to know where you are. Many companies don't know how much they print each month, and because of this, they can't start decreasing their printing. Start your journey by evaluating your current printing habits. Are employees aware of any limits or rules that the company has regarding printing? Are there machines that are being used too much? Too little?
2. Implement a commonsense printing policy: Many companies already have policies regarding what employees can print in the office, but many don't, and even if they do, they're often poorly communicated to employees. Make sure that everyone knows what's appropriate to print in the office, and give incentives to reduce printing across the office.
3. Use managed print services: Hands down, the best way to reduce your printing costs is to implement managed print services. A managed services provider will look over your print environment and root out inefficiencies, helping you increase your productivity while reducing your costs.
