The hidden cost of printing
In a study done by Quocirca in 2014, they found that most organizations
have no idea how much they are spending on printing and imaging.
It’s important to understand where your organization incurs cost, so you can take control
and achieve a return on investment by implementing the right solution.
By understanding where your costs happen, you can take control of that spending.

Company printing costs can be broken down in to three basic sections.
Hardware costs – which include things like printers, print servers, and hard disks
Operating costs – which include consumables, operators and techs, network management, power, and infrastructure
And finally indirect costs – which include help desk and support staff, impacts to end-user productivity, maintenance, warranty, and under-used or unused assets.
What does this look like in reality? For example, a company with $100 Million in revenue, $780,000 of it goes to printing. That’s pretty steep.
Printing is a necessary function of the office, yet an often ignored line item on the budget.
Studies show that almost 1 in 4 helpdesk tickets are print-related.
Costs like these, if they remain hidden, can add up quickly.
The truth is, 55% of printing costs are not hardware related – they are indirect costs like staffing, management, configuration, and productivity loss.
For example, 15% of print related support tickets are escalated beyond the first level of support.
As staff salaries increase, the cost of those tickets becomes exponentially higher and those high level resources are navigated away from more important issues.
