• The average office has 1 printing device for every 4 employees—optimum is 1 printer for 10 employees.*

• Managing the broad variety of required supplies items and having them in the right place at the right time is difficult and expensive

• Multiple vendors may be needed to manage the multiple printers

• Output fleets are overlooked & under managed representing a goldmine of savings (10% - 30% per year)** via implementing a printer output strategy

• Proactive printer maintenance by trained technicians will protect capital investments and ensure reliable usage
