20+ Years Experience
Specialist Managed Print Services
Your print infrastructure can be a surprisingly important part of your business, whether that is for printing internal documents or promotional materials that are aimed at Edinburgh customers.
Printing can be costly and hard to structure on your own, making managed print services like ours an incredibly important way to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Even the smallest change in your business’ printing structure and habits can be enough to completely change your overall print costs.
We offer a specialised managed print service with a core focus on bespoke results, giving each client unique changes to their print infrastructure depending on the results that they are aiming for. Whether you want better print performance or less paper usage overall, we can deliver those results in record time.
Our November 2024 managed print service is highly flexible, allowing us to work with companies of all sizes and industries. Regardless of your niche, we can promise print optimization and a whole range of additional support options.
We are accredited print management specialists with a long list of past projects behind us, each one successful. Our work has earned us a range of certifications, as well as the personal appreciation of many businesses that have been our clients in the past.
With over 15 years of experience managing the print environment of both private sector and public sector companies in Edinburgh, we know how to approach the needs of each customer carefully. We monitor your situation before and after our solutions are put in place, making adjustments as needed.
Our competitive prices – a result of our great relationship with suppliers and software specialists – mean that we can provide a cheap but effective MPS contract that covers all of a business’ print devices. We never compromise on our hardware or software options, ensuring that each client gets the best service and solutions for their print needs.
Our goal with every client is to provide optimized and managed print services and solutions, creating a much more effective print environment.
Our Edinburgh experts will look at your existing printing environment and documentation to understand your workflow, your system’s age, and any potential improvements or solutions that our managed print services could make.
From there, our specialists can develop a plan for the digital transformation of your print system – one that suits your needs. This is to allow for a smooth digital transformation into a new, more efficient system that still operates just like your old one.
Our managed print service also includes continuous improvements and solutions – such as reporting potential new solutions and maintaining your print and scan infrastructure to ensure maximum quality. For example, if your new system has issues with information security, we will work to correct those problems immediately.
If you have not heard elsewhere, you may be surprised to learn that a managed print service can reduce printing costs by up to 30%. This is a significant reduction in printing cost overheads, something that can benefit any business that relies on printing.
However, being efficient is not just about cost. In Edinburgh office environments, knowing how to improve efficiency, in general, can make the workflow a lot smoother and will help drive productivity. Even better data management solutions can help you keep that data safe, page by page.
How often are your employees standing waiting for the printers? Is your hardware causing delays that impact the customer? Does a certain device only work with the “right printers” and require specialised tools to fit with the rest of your printing infrastructure?
A managed printing service can improve efficiency and productivity while also giving you ways to save money and time. Our Edinburgh services can cover everything from hardware comparability checks to complete digital transformation of your existing printing structure, all to benefit your company in the long term.
Companies can make profits and save money in a range of different ways, and some of the most obvious ways to save money are hidden right where you would least expect to find them. For example, a better print strategy can be enough to save on print costs for years to come.
The cost-saving potential of managed print service comes from the more efficient print usage, reducing the total cost of your printing needs without compromising your ability to print. Some of our past customers in Edinburgh have saved more than £700,000 through our MSP contract alone.
If you want to know the kind of cost savings that our managed print service can provide, then contact us to learn more. Alternatively, keep reading to see what kind of savings our service can bring to businesses.
Our analysis work looks at everything to your business’ printing requirements, from the most basic printing needs to all kinds of niche copying and scanning requirements. This in-depth review of your printing system is meant to find out the capabilities and limitations of your existing print solutions.
From there, we can find solutions and benefits that might help drive productivity or better savings or figure out ways to make your print system more efficient. Every company has a unique system of printers, scanners and fax machines, so our work is always bespoke to a customer’s needs.
We can assist you in figuring out which of your printing costs are unnecessary, and find ways to reduce additional costs for issues such as maintenance. Through this analysis, we can figure out exactly how to improve efficiency and improve productivity without compromising your system’s normal capabilities.
A lot of the cost-saving practices involved in our managed print service come from the customer’s control over their own print system. Whether you want to hit sustainability goals or just reduce print costs, we can help guide you into a situation where you spend far less on your printing needs.
This could be something as simple as changing the settings on your printers to use lower-cost options or as complex as adding a code lock onto printers to limit employee use outside of official business reasons.
We can also suggest policies that are meant to manage how often Edinburgh employees need to print, such as requiring employees to share smaller documents digitally. These can be small things, but they really add up, providing both reduced print expenses and an extra step towards carbon-neutral printing.
Our Edinburgh managed print service can include suggestions on how you have managed print supply and delivery. An automated delivery system can ensure that your company only orders more ink when your printers actually run out, saving unnecessary costs.
Part of our managed print services involves looking at how devices are spread throughout your business. Desktop printers are often inefficient and expensive to run and only service a single user (or small cluster of desks) at once.
We can help you identify places that do not actually need independent hardware, as well as spaces where having a separate printer can be extremely important for keeping the business running smoothly.
Consolidating your printing devices is an important part of our managed print service. We are able to identify areas where you might have multi-functional devices that really do not need to be there or spaces that are using multiple device types that all use incompatible ink cartridges.
Even something as basic as a department barely using its hardware can be enough justification to manage the devices in that area. Cutting costs that are not going to impact the business in any way can be an important method of saving money in the long term.
We are even able to approach the concept of physical placement of print devices in Edinburgh, making sure that you are putting devices in spaces where they can do the most efficient and profitable work.
Placing printing devices in high-traffic and easy-to-reach areas can make that part of your business much more efficient, but placing one near too many employees can result in ink running out faster and your business grinding to a standstill.
Maximising device use while limiting excessive ink waste or printing habits can be tough, but we know how to guide you towards the best possible result for this kind of situation.
Understanding who is responsible for managing your services already can be a useful detail to know. You will usually get supplies like ink refills from the same business that you bought the devices from, but we can sometimes suggest alternatives that might be cheaper.
Beyond that, the employee responsible for the control of your printers can be an important person to focus on. You want somebody who can distribute printing supplies and find solutions to printer blockages or repairs in an efficient way.
Even if some of your monthly expenses do not really change, our managed print services in Edinburgh can help you keep track of costs and maintain stable expenses. This allows you to plan ahead and understand the cost of regular purchases, such as toner supplies, much more effectively.
Finding a way to offer remote printing can sometimes be incredibly useful. If an employee can access devices in the office from their mobile device, then they can have documents printed without needing to come in and use the hardware themselves.
This can add a little more flexibility to your printing hardware, allowing you to use a device in more ways without costing anything more to run them.
We can help you identify a device that is underperforming or consuming toner supplies at an excessive rate. From there, we can replace that device with a new option that is more secure and practical, keeping costs low in the long term.
An inefficient device may also be subjected to damage or wear more often, requiring constant service.
Identify the printers that are underperforming by replacing them with a more effective option. Inefficient machines are going down and will require more frequent service, and this can be costly. Replacing it can save you a lot of money.
Your business goals are a major part of our managed print service support. Printing can be important in both home and office environments, so you want documents printed quickly, safely, cheaply and consistently.
Our managed print services allows us to manage the print needs of many locations and industries, including:
HP printers are a common choice for the healthcare sector, and we can provide HP-managed services that suit your healthcare needs perfectly. Whether this is document management or a full HP healthcare print solution, our specialists can install something that protects patients and their details while offering full-service support to employees.
Our managed print service can help the financial sector improve its workflow, offer better banking options, and prepare insurance information far faster. The document management side of our services also makes it easier to manage each sensitive document safely and only print in secure ways,
Design is a visual field, so printing can be a must-have service. Our support ensures that each customer in Edinburgh can produce as many documents as necessary without breaking their own budget, building an efficient print environment that makes planning, development, assessment and design work far more practical.
Retail can rely on our services far more than you might think. Whether you are a standalone business or a larger chain, we can offer the printing service you need, enabling you to print out important business documents or promotional materials with ease.
Education uses print methods on an almost daily basis. A good MPS contract with us is the fastest way to start enabling affordable student print options, and we can help you find solutions to excessive use of toner or the risk of secure student data leaking out.
Manufacturing involves a lot of unique stages, from design to the final delivery. As such, your company can benefit from optimising any part of the chain, and that includes print management. We can refine your print processes to create a quicker and easier set of services.
From concept to design and delivery, your company will redefine their processes to drive innovative processes to create a safer user experience.
Innovation is one of the best solutions to any business problem, and our managed services can drive greater innovation within your own business. Whether that is improving the customer experience or just making daily operations faster, we can offer the services to get the job done right.
Any kind of transition can be tough for your business, and we can provide solutions to problems you may face along the way. This could be information security, general services, or even just ways to monitor what your employees are printing.
Renting printers in Edinburgh can give you access to a new printing tool on a budget. These rental services allow you to get a secure, safe, high-efficiency option that can support your business in the short term.
There are multiple reasons why you might choose a rental like this. Leased printers may be more secure or more efficient with toner compared to your existing options. You may also be able to get brands that you otherwise could not afford.
Renting printers is cheaper, easier, faster and more practical for smaller businesses, although larger ones can also benefit in many situations. Whether you need a temporary additional printing tool or something with a unique feature like cloud technology, it can be a short-term addition to our print fleet.
The average cost of renting printers depends on the volume of printing and the colour option you choose.
For example, a medium-volume black-and-white printer costs around £40-70 per month, while a colour printer costs somewhere between £70-100 per month. Of course, this is just an average, and different lease companies charge different amounts.
Most printers are leased for multiple years, usually around three. However, you can always extend that for long-time savings or choose a shorter option if you just need short-term print fleet support.
Managed services like ours are far more flexible than leasing, although both can work in tandem. Our HP-managed print services are some of the best on the market in Edinburgh, providing the tools and the maintenance alongside a range of other optimization support options.
HP offer similar services to us, but why should you contact us instead of them? The most obvious answer is that HP mainly works with their own HP hardware, which you may not be using. Beyond that, HP is a large company, meaning that HP may stick to using pre-prepared solutions instead of our bespoke options.
Managed services like ours can help you save time, reduce costs, improve effectiveness, and increase productivity across your business. It is also a good way of reducing your environmental impact and increasing the business “agility” of your employees.
Managed services are a great way to reduce costs by 20-30% and to cut down on a range of delays or limiting factors that might be slowing your business down.
Managed Print Services (MPS) are any specialist service designed to meet your printing needs. This means printing and storing documents, replacing devices, advising management on how documents should be printed and offering stronger support to any customer or employee using a print option at your business.
A MPS is responsible for taking meter readings, aiming for high-cost savings, finding solutions to productivity issues and pushing for better management support. They can also keep print units secure, find solutions to more consistent toner delivery, or even support stronger data protection.
An MPS is there to support your business, finding solutions to whatever needs solutions. This means that you can ask for specific solutions regarding an element of your management or support team – or you can allow them to support you directly by having them investigate the issues in your business for themselves.
A print environment is the workflow, data, support, management and solution around any print your business makes.
The print management market is most likely going to see an annual growth of around 8.06% between 2022 and 2026. The increase in popularity of services like this will also support its long-term growth and spread throughout multiple industries.
