Unearth the mystery of your true enterprise print expenditures.

You may already know that deploying an intelligent print strategy is a vital component to the success of your business. And even if you’re aware of the importance of a print strategy, like many companies you’ve yet to venture into the “unknown” to create one. After all, coming face to face with the often harsh reality of your print expenditures can be a daunting undertaking.

We call the unknown the Print Underworld—a realm where true print usage and costs are realized, print-related waste and misuse is eliminated, document output is optimized and measurable cost savings are directed to the bottom line. It’s a world that can be difficult to navigate; abundant with a variety of obstacles that impede efficient and cost-effective printing. That’s why when you find yourself ready to enter the menacing portal to the Print Underworld, it’s a wise idea to turn to an experienced guide to help you descend, explore and unearth its unknown depths.

Printing is one of the least audited expenses in business today. While most companies actively negotiate the price they pay for printing technologies, few actually assess and manage the costs of supplies and maintenance—which comprise the majority of print expenditures. As a result, total printing costs are rising dramatically for many businesses, often consuming up to three percent (3%) of annual revenues. Navigating through the vast Print Underworld to discover print costs that are beneath the surface and develop effective, enterprise-wide print management strategies that reap measurable cost-savings requires guidance and experience.
