Instant document printing is a very easy and convenient option; however, it does come at a cost –\u00a0 and it\u2019s a lot more than simply buying the printer and keeping it fed with paper, replacement cartridges or inks and toner.<\/p>\n

Whose job is it anyway?<\/h5>\n

Keeping your printers running will more than likely involve other members of your staff. Maybe it\u2019s IT or admin? Either way, it all adds up to time taken away from what they\u2019re actually being paid to do.<\/p>\n

In most businesses, if anything goes wrong with a printer, an initial call is made to the IT team. If they can\u2019t find a quick fix, you\u2019ll need to enlist the services of an engineer. If you\u2019re not on a contract, a callout could cost you \u00a3100 \u2013 and that\u2019s before the cost of repairs. Additionally, when adding up the final bill, the time that IT wasted looking at it in the first place will need to be factored in.<\/p>\n

Stock room blues<\/h5>\n

If you buy replacement printer cartridges, your staff will end up spending a significant amount of time sourcing the best buys. If you decide to keep a stock of replacements, you may be surprised to find out exactly how much working capital is tied up in them. A manufacturer\u2019s basic drum and toner unit can cost \u00a360 \u2013 so, if you\u2019re running a lot of desktop printers, keeping a stock of replacements will soon become a very expensive endeavour. Additionally, there\u2019s the added risk of forgetting to re-order – so when you really need that printer; guess what . . . it runs out ink!<\/p>\n
