Print waste is real, and that's something most business managers already know. From pages that are thrown away to unused consumables, printing supplies to repair costs, printing is expensive.
Add in the value of employee time spent troubleshooting printers, ordering supplies, and working on general print oversight, and you might be astounded by the costs.
To fix these costs, looking into the waste will show you where there are savings to be found.
