Few business owners would argue that reducing costs isn’t one of their top priorities, yet many overlook an opportunity that’s right in front of them. Print-related spending is one of those “hidden in plain sight” expenses that many business owners fail to notice.
Hidden Costs
Perhaps it’s because our offices are dominated by printers and copiers and the functions they perform that we assume someone is counting the cost. Whatever the reason, companies are shocked to learn that their annual print spend can reach as high as 6% to 15% of annual revenues.

There’s no practical way to reduce print-related expenditures without a clear-cut strategy.
