Ask most business owners how much they spend on printing, and you’ll likely get a shrug. That’s exactly the problem.
Printing is one of the most overlooked expenses in any organisation — quietly draining budgets while going completely untracked. The data backs this up: document costs can be as high as 10% of a business’s total revenue. Yet nearly 90% of businesses don’t monitor their printing costs, and 40% of print-related expenses have no oversight at all.
Whether you run a small office, a growing enterprise, or a multi-site operation, unmanaged printing is costing you more than you realise — and Managed Print Services (MPS) is the solution businesses everywhere are turning to.
What Is Managed Print Services — And Why Does It Matter?
Managed Print Services might sound like corporate jargon — and admittedly, the industry is full of it (MPS, MDS, CPC, TCO… the list goes on). But the concept itself is straightforward:
MPS plans aim to save you time, money, and reduce the stress of managing your in-house printing — all wrapped up into a single, easy-to-track invoice. Instead of juggling multiple vendors, reactive repairs, and surprise consumable costs, everything is handled proactively under one transparent agreement.
The result is full visibility and control over one of your most overlooked operational costs.
The Hidden Cost of “Just Printing”
Many businesses treat printing as a fixed, unavoidable cost — something that just happens in the background. But without active management, these costs accumulate fast:
- Toner and consumables ordered reactively, often at a premium
- Devices running past their optimal service window
- No data on who is printing what, or how much it’s costing per department
- Wasted pages, inefficient workflows, and untracked device usage
MPS brings proactive management, personalised recommendations, and measurable cost reductions to an area of your business that has likely been running on autopilot for years.
