What Is a Managed
Print Service?

A managed print service (MPS) means handing the day-to-day management of your entire printer fleet to a specialist provider — typically on a fixed monthly cost-per-page or cost-per-print basis.

Instead of buying printers outright, ordering consumables reactively and calling engineers when something breaks, your MPS provider monitors your fleet proactively, delivers consumables automatically before they run out and handles all maintenance and repairs — covered in your monthly fee.

The result is a predictable monthly invoice, fewer IT helpdesk tickets, zero unexpected costs and typically a 20–30% reduction in total print spend.

What you gain

Four Reasons Businesses
Switch to MPS

Managed print is not just for large enterprises. Any business spending more than £500 per month on printing will typically see a measurable saving within the first year.

30%

Cost Reduction

Consolidating devices, eliminating reactive supply ordering and fixing print wastage typically reduces total print spend by 20–30%.

Zero

Unexpected Costs

No surprise engineer invoices. No emergency toner orders. No hardware replacement shocks. One fixed monthly invoice covers everything.

24/7

Proactive Monitoring

Your fleet is monitored continuously. Issues are flagged and resolved before they cause downtime — often before you are even aware of them.

Free

IT Resource

Printer problems generate more IT helpdesk tickets than almost any other office technology. MPS eliminates the burden on your internal IT team.

The honest comparison

MPS vs Buying Outright
Which Is Right for You?

Both approaches work — the right choice depends on your print volume, budget structure and how much management overhead you want to carry internally.

Buying Outright

Capital purchase or lease — you own and manage the fleet
  • Lower total cost if your print volume is low and consistent
  • Full control over hardware and consumable choices
  • Better suited to specialist print environments with bespoke media
  • Unpredictable costs — engineer callouts, consumable spikes, hardware failure
  • Reactive management — problems become visible only after they occur
  • IT team carries the burden of fleet monitoring and helpdesk tickets
  • Consumable ordering requires manual monitoring and purchasing

Managed Print Service

Fixed monthly cost — we own the management overhead
  • Predictable monthly cost — one invoice covers hardware, consumables, service
  • Proactive monitoring — issues resolved before they cause downtime
  • Automatic consumable delivery — never run out, never over-order
  • No IT burden — engineer scheduling and fleet management is handled for you
  • Scales with your business — add or remove devices without renegotiating
  • Typically saves 20–30% vs unmanaged fleet costs
  • Less suited to very low-volume environments where printer spend is minimal

Start with a free audit

Book Your Free Print Audit

We audit your current print environment — devices, volumes, consumable costs and service history — and show you exactly what a managed print agreement would cost and how much it would save.

The audit is completely free and carries no obligation. Most businesses are surprised by how much they are spending on unmanaged print — and how quickly MPS pays for itself.

Most businesses save between 20% and 30% of their total print costs when switching to a managed agreement. The saving comes from several sources — consolidating devices, eliminating reactive consumable ordering, removing hidden service costs and reducing print wastage through usage monitoring. The free audit will calculate a specific projection for your environment.
We can take over management of your existing fleet regardless of brand or age — HP, Epson, Canon, Xerox, Konica Minolta, Ricoh and others. In some cases we will recommend rationalising the fleet as part of the audit, but there is no requirement to replace hardware to benefit from MPS.
The audit assesses your current fleet — number of devices, monthly print volumes, consumable costs and any existing service arrangements. From this we produce a cost-per-print comparison showing what you are currently spending versus what a managed agreement would cost. The audit typically takes 30 minutes and is completely free with no obligation to proceed.
Typical MPS agreements run for two to four years. Longer terms usually allow for lower monthly costs. We structure agreements to match your organisation's procurement cycles and budget planning periods. All terms are fully transparent — no hidden charges, no exit penalties beyond the contracted term.
MPS delivers the most measurable saving for businesses spending upwards of £500 per month on printing — which is more common than most businesses realise once you add hardware depreciation, consumables, IT time and service costs together. Smaller businesses can benefit from the simplicity and predictability of a managed agreement even if the percentage saving is less dramatic.
We deploy leading print management software depending on your environment and security requirements — including Follow Me Print (secure pull-printing), PaperCut (cost allocation and usage tracking), Equitrac (enterprise document accounting) and Device Agent (remote fleet monitoring). All options are discussed during the audit based on your specific compliance and security needs.
