How Managed Print Services (MPS) Save Time and Money for Businesses

For many companies, printing is a necessary but often overlooked area where inefficiencies can quietly drain resources. Managed Print Services (MPS) offer a comprehensive solution to this problem, helping organizations regain control over their print environment, reduce costs, and free up valuable time for core business activities. At Pro Print, we specialize in delivering tailored MPS solutions and a wide range of print products to help businesses in Montreal and across Canada thrive.

What Are Managed Print Services?

Managed Print Services (MPS) involve outsourcing the management of your printing infrastructure to a specialized provider like Pro Print. This includes everything from assessing your current print environment, optimizing printer fleets, automating supply replenishment, providing maintenance, and implementing secure, sustainable printing practices. The goal is to streamline all aspects of printing, so you can focus on what matters most-running your business.

The Hidden Costs of Traditional Printing

Many businesses underestimate the true cost of printing. Beyond the obvious expenses of paper and toner, there are hidden costs such as:

  • Time spent by employees troubleshooting printer issues

  • Inefficient use of devices (e.g., too many or too few printers)

  • Untracked supply usage leading to waste

  • Downtime from equipment failures

  • Security risks from unsecured print jobs

These inefficiencies add up, impacting both your bottom line and productivity.

How MPS Saves You Money

1. Reduced Printing Costs

MPS can help businesses save up to 30% on printing costs by optimizing printer usage, reducing waste, and managing supplies more effectively. Through a detailed print needs assessment, MPS providers identify inefficiencies-such as excessive toner usage, unnecessary color printing, or underutilized devices-and implement strategies to minimize these costs.

2. Lower Maintenance and Repair Expenses

With MPS, you no longer have to worry about unexpected repair bills or costly downtime. Providers like Pro Print handle all maintenance and repairs, ensuring your devices are always in top condition. This proactive approach prevents expensive emergency fixes and extends the life of your equipment.

3. Streamlined Supply Management

Running out of toner or paper at a critical moment can halt operations. MPS includes automated inventory tracking and supply ordering, so you never run out of essentials. This not only prevents downtime but also avoids over-ordering and excess inventory.

4. Predictable Monthly Expenses

By consolidating all print-related costs into a single, predictable monthly invoice, MPS eliminates budget surprises. This financial clarity makes it easier to manage expenses and plan for the future.

How MPS Saves You Time

1. Automated Workflows and Support

MPS providers automate time-consuming tasks such as ordering supplies, scheduling maintenance, and troubleshooting devices. Employees no longer need to spend valuable time managing printers, allowing them to focus on higher-value activities.

2. Centralized Management

With centralized monitoring and management, you gain full visibility into your print environment. This enables quick identification and resolution of issues, reducing downtime and boosting productivity.

3. Expert Support and Fast Repairs

MPS includes access to expert technicians who can resolve issues quickly-often before you even notice them. This minimizes disruptions and ensures your business runs smoothly.

Additional Benefits: Security and Sustainability

Enhanced Security

Print environments are a common target for data breaches. MPS providers implement secure printing protocols, such as user authentication and encrypted print jobs, to protect sensitive information and prevent unauthorized access.

Sustainability

MPS encourages eco-friendly practices by reducing paper and toner waste, promoting double-sided printing, and optimizing energy usage. This not only benefits the environment but can also lead to further cost savings.

Real-World Example: How MPS Transforms Businesses

Consider a mid-sized business with multiple departments and a fleet of printers. Before MPS, employees frequently complained about printer downtime, supply shortages, and confusing print policies. Costs were unpredictable, and IT staff were stretched thin managing print-related issues.

After partnering with Pro Print for Managed Print Services:

  • A comprehensive assessment revealed underused printers and excessive color printing.

  • Devices were consolidated and upgraded to energy-efficient models from Pro Print’s shop.

  • Automated supply replenishment ensured toner and paper were always in stock.

  • Secure print release was implemented to protect sensitive documents.

  • IT staff were freed from printer troubleshooting, focusing instead on strategic projects.

The result? The business saw a 30% reduction in printing costs, significantly less downtime, and happier, more productive employees.
