Renting a printer is cheaper than using an already purchased one.

Recently I came across an smol000 article on outsourcing for small and medium-sized businesses and realized that in Russia few people know about such a concept as print outsourcing.
What is print outsourcing ? Consider a specific example: let's say your company prints 100,000 sheets a month, you have purchased equipment (printers, copiers, multifunction devices) for tens, or even hundreds of thousands, you purchase supplies (cartridges), you purchase spare parts for printers, you spend money on repairs and maintenance, you administer all these processes. All of these factors give you the estimated cost of printing a single sheet. Most often, it varies in the range of 1.8 - 2.5 rubles per sheet.

Outsourcing of printing offers to take on all these functions.

1. You pay for equipment rental . Those. you don’t invest big money right away: let's say a dozen expensive office MFPs can cost about 50 - 80 thousand dollars. Now imagine that you are not throwing this money out of business, and they work for you - in this case, you will double or triple this amount in 2-3 years.
2. You pay for printing one sheet substantially less, which, with 100,000 sheets, gives you savings of 40 to 100 thousand rubles per month.
3. You relieve your employees of responsibility for the operation of the equipment and the risks in the event of equipment breakdown. If the device fails, the service company replaces it.

Moreover, you can save extra money if you rent used equipment. Again, you do not have to worry about its quality and performance - this is a headache for the company serving you.

UPD . At the request of commentators: how to find companies that are engaged in outsourcing - google according to outsourcing of print and you will find companies that do this :)
