Understanding Your Results

Your results provide insight into the operating cost and efficiency of your current printer.

Higher operating costs, increasing maintenance requirements, and older equipment often indicate opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce expenses.

Many businesses are surprised to discover how much their printer is truly costing them.

Impact of Printer Age

Older printers often:

• Require more maintenance
• Consume more toner
• Experience more downtime
• Cost more to repair

Additionally, as printers age, manufacturers often discontinue parts and support over time, which makes repairs more difficult and expensive.

Older devices may also lack the latest security updates, which can expose your business to unnecessary risks.

Over time, these hidden costs can add up significantly.

Potential Cost Savings

Many businesses reduce printing costs by upgrading to newer, more efficient equipment.

Benefits often include:

• Lower cost per page
• Reduced toner consumption
• Improved reliability
• Less downtime
• Enhanced security features

Depending on your current equipment, businesses can often reduce printing costs by 20-50%.

How the Calculation Works

Your estimated monthly cost is based on the number of pages you print and the cost per page of your selected printer.

The cost per page is calculated using toner costs and estimated toner yield data for your printer model.

For reference, cost per page is typically calculated as:

For color printers, the calculation incorporates both black and color printing to provide a more realistic estimate of overall printing costs.

These estimates are based on typical manufacturer specifications and standard business printing conditions.
