It’s no secret that printing costs can quickly add up and become a significant expense for your company. In many organizations, these costs are on average 30% higher than they need to be, primarily due to the use of color printers instead of black-and-white ones, employees printing personal documents, and inefficient placement of copying equipment, which leads to increased wear and tear on devices. As you try to optimize your company’s expenses, taking a closer look at your printing habits can make a significant difference.

One design institute decided to tackle this issue head-on by implementing the SCOPD system to monitor the use of printing devices. This system allowed for precise budgeting for each project and helped identify improper use of the wide-format printer and other printing devices. What they found was surprising: company personnel were using the printer not only for work purposes but also for printing posters, calendars, and other personal items. This realization highlighted the need for better monitoring and control over printing practices.

To prevent such situations in the future, the management conducted an explanatory session with the employees to discuss the importance of responsible printing and the impact it has on the company’s bottom line. By educating your employees on printing best practices and implementing a system like SCOPD, you can significantly reduce your printing costs and make your company more efficient and environmentally friendly. As you consider ways to optimize your expenses, don’t overlook the potential savings that can come from streamlining your printing habits. Let’s connect and discuss how SCOPD can help secure your company’s equipment and reduce your printing costs.
