In reality, in the majority of offices with significant page volumes, there are still more pages printed through desktop printers than through the less expensive, stand-alone, copier or multi-function printer. This is largely due to the proximity of printer to the person printing. Fighting that tendency has proven very difficult for companies, so the trend continues. While companies work on “fixing” the problem, they are still paying for the toner, the largest expense when dealing with laser printers. Americom can help, not only with lowering operating costs, but allowing the company to have an accurate view of the volumes being run on the different types of equipment in their office. This drives an accurate view of the costs and how to reduce them.

While the “shopping” of toner is admirable, the reality is that the time spent looking at multiple sites every time they  buy toner is costing the company money. The labor cost to “search” far outweighs the perceived money that is being saved. Furthermore, manufacturers have a habit of setting low-toner notifications to fire early, some when there’s still 20% of the cartridge remaining. Paying 100% of price for 80% of product is not savings! Americom monitors the levels of toner for you and predictively ships to match toner arrival with time that you will be running out. Most importantly, by using our Cost per Page model, you no longer need worry about whether you are getting all of the use out of the cartridge, as that burden shifts to Americom. You get a fixed “cost per page” which includes everything needed to keep your printer running!
