25 Aug Is Your Office Photocopier Costing Your Business More Than It Should?
When was the last time you really looked at how much your business spends on printing?
For many businesses, the office photocopier or printer is something that’s simply there and used every day. But older equipment, expensive consumables and an inefficient print setup can quietly add unnecessary costs over time.
At Newman Business Solutions, we help businesses across East Sussex understand what they’re actually spending on print and whether their current setup is still right for them.
The Hidden Costs of Office Printing
The cost of a printer isn’t just the price of the machine.
Toner and consumables, servicing, repairs, energy usage and even the amount of unnecessary printing taking place can all contribute to your overall costs.
Businesses can also end up with several different printers dotted around the office, all requiring different toner and maintenance.
Sometimes simplifying your print setup can make a significant difference.
Is Your Photocopier Getting Too Old?
If your photocopier or office printer has been in place for several years, it doesn’t necessarily mean it needs replacing.
However, there are a few signs that it might be worth reviewing:
Repairs and call-outs are becoming more frequent
Toner and consumable costs are increasing
The machine is becoming slow or unreliable
Your business has grown or changed since it was installed
You’re missing newer features such as secure print or improved scanning
You’re paying for equipment or functionality you no longer need
Rather than waiting for a machine to finally give up, reviewing your equipment beforehand gives you time to consider the best options for your business.
Buying or Leasing a Photocopier in East Sussex
Another consideration is whether purchasing or leasing your next office photocopier is the right choice.
Both can have advantages depending on your organisation, budget and printing requirements.
Leasing can help spread the cost of new equipment, while purchasing outright may suit other businesses better.
The important part is making sure you’re getting the right machine and agreement for your business, rather than simply replacing like-for-like.
That’s where having an experienced local supplier can help.
Start With a Print Audit
One of the easiest ways to understand your current print costs is through a print audit.
At Newman Business Solutions, we can look at your existing printers and photocopiers, how they’re being used and what you’re currently spending.
We can then identify whether there are opportunities to reduce costs, improve efficiency or simplify your print environment.
And importantly, a print audit doesn’t automatically mean you need new equipment.
Sometimes there are improvements that can be made using what you already have.
