Real Costs
Printing isn't as simple--or as cheap--as it might seem at first glance. Sure, it's easy to get into the habit of ordering supplies, making repairs, and upgrading machines without overthinking about the price. However, since printing is a necessary and routine part of every business day--the truth is that those habits could be costing you.
Here are a few often-overlooked things that add up to the "real cost" of printing:
- paper, ink, and toner costs,
- machine maintenance,
- machine repairs,
- downtime,
- and security.
That's a lot more than the price-tag on your machine!
