Research shows the average organisation may be spending as much as $15,700 per employee each year on office printing* – even before you add in the cost of using external printing firms.

​

Many organisations are unaware how much office printers are costing them or that visible costs represent just 20% of the total. It is why industry experts often refer to “the hidden costs of printing”. It is also why it makes sense to consider whether you are best placed to manage these invisible costs and how you can avoid wasting time and money.
