What Happens During a Print Audit?

If you’ve ever wondered whether your business could save money or improve efficiency with a better print setup, a free print assessment is the perfect place to start.

There’s no pressure, no obligation and no complicated process—just practical advice to help you get the most from your current print environment.

Here’s what you can expect.

1. Reviewing Your Current Devices

We start by taking a look at your existing printers and multifunction devices, including their age, performance and how they’re being used across your business.

This helps us understand whether your current equipment is meeting your needs or if it’s creating unnecessary costs or downtime.

2. Analysing Your Print Volumes

Next, we assess how much your business prints and copies each month.

By understanding your print volumes, colour usage and device utilisation, we can identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce ongoing operating costs.

3. Identifying Inefficiencies

Many businesses are surprised by the hidden costs within their print environment.

During the assessment, we’ll look for things like:

  • Underused or overloaded devices
  • Excessive printing
  • High toner or maintenance costs
  • Inefficient workflows
  • Opportunities to consolidate equipment

Small changes can often deliver significant savings.

4. Discussing Workflow Improvements

Printing is only one part of the picture.

We’ll also discuss how document workflows could be improved through solutions such as scan-to-cloud, document management, OCR, secure printing or digital approvals—helping your team work smarter and reduce manual processes.

5. Recommending Tailored Solutions

Every business is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Based on our findings, we’ll recommend solutions that suit your business, your budget and your future growth—whether that’s upgrading equipment, implementing print management software or improving document workflows.

6. Providing a No-Obligation Proposal

Once the assessment is complete, you’ll receive a clear, no-obligation proposal outlining our recommendations.

There is absolutely no pressure to proceed. Our goal is simply to provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your business’s print and document environment.
