Written by Toshiba | Jul 24, 2023 8:29:00 AM

Every business has several expenses that need to be accounted for. These expenses include everything the company spends money on, so even something as small as the dishwashing liquid in the office kitchen is accounted for in the company's yearly expenses.  It is essential to the longevity of any business to find ways to save money on these expenses, and one of the areas in which many companies can save money is, office printing and copying

Office printing expenses may add up quickly for companies. The typical business spends roughly $1,200 a year on printing. This figure may even be greater for companies with many employees or who print a lot.

High office printing expenditures can result from a variety of circumstances, such as:

  • The price of printer toner and ink
  • Price of paper
  • The cost of upkeep and repairs
  • Unnecessary color printing & copying
  • Single-sided printing
  • The cost of personal printing

This article will discuss reducing office printing costs with print management solutions.
