Out-of-Control Inkjet Printer Costs

Have you heard that the cost of printing equipment is only 10% of the true cost printing for your company?

Ask this bank. They experienced a real eye-opener when we evaluated their printer fleet. A St. Louis-headquartered bank with multiple locations, this bank was using 45 high-cost inkjet printers. The cost per month for their printing supplies? A whopping (and unmanageable) $9,000 per month!

These inkjet printers were costing them upwards of $.06 per page.

It did not take long to convince them that these printers needed to be replaced. Datamax selected Lexmark laser printers, which print duplex at 8 times the speed of the old inkjet printers.

In addition to replacing their printers, the bank is utilizing the Datamax MaxCare program benefits. Through OnSite Print Manager, Datamax monitors their fleet for service alerts to proactively schedule service and automatically replenish their toner based on usage.

The bottom line: the Datamax solution saved them $2,800 per month and they now pay only $.015 per page.

That’s over $33,000 a year in costs recovered.
