Physical Inventory – The first step of a print assessment is to inventory the print devices you already own. Get to know each machine…year, brand, model and whether you own or rent.
Review Expenses & Usage – Next, calculate how often devices are used. Add up all of your monthly expenses for every machine. This includes supply costs, service and maintenance costs, and anything else related to print.
Employee Burden & Workflow Evaluation – Another factor of the assessment is your employees’ time spent fixing, ordering supplies, maintenance, clearing jams, etc. Did you know that a machine that constantly jams is a sign that it’s nearing the end of it’s life?
Identify your Goals – Is your print environment meeting your current business needs? Are you overusing / underusing your machines? Could you consolIdate your machines into one multifunction printer?
