Renting a printer is cheaper than using a purchased one.

Recently I came across an smol000 article on outsourcing for small and medium businesses and realized that few people in Russia know about such a concept as print outsourcing.
What is print outsourcing ? Consider a specific example: let's say your company prints 100,000 sheets per month, you have purchased equipment (printers, copiers, MFPs) for dozens or even hundreds of thousands, you buy consumables (cartridges), you buy spare parts for printers, you spend money on repairs and maintenance, you administer all these processes. All of these factors give you an estimated cost per sheet. Most often it varies in the range of 1.8 - 2.5 rubles per sheet.

Print outsourcing offers to take on all these functions.

1. You pay for equipment rental . Those. you do not invest a lot of money right away: for example, a dozen expensive office multifunction devices can cost around 50-80 thousand dollars. Now imagine that you do not throw this money out of business, and they work for you - in this case, you will double or even triple this amount in 2-3 years.
2. You pay for printing one sheet of material, which is substantially less, which, with 100,000 sheets, gives you savings from 40 to 100 thousand rubles a month.
3. You remove from your employees responsibility for the operation of the equipment and the risks in case of equipment breakdown. If the device fails - the service company replaces it.

Moreover, you can save further by renting used equipment. Again, you don’t have to worry about its quality and performance - this is a headache for your company.
