5 Signs Your Business Needs Managed Print Services
You’ve got printers in every corner of the office, your IT team is constantly fielding print-related issues, and no one really knows how much your company is spending on toner, paper, or maintenance. Sound familiar? If so, it’s time to consider Managed Print Services (MPS).
Managed Print Services (MPS) refer to a comprehensive approach to optimizing and managing a company’s document output and printing needs. By outsourcing the management of printers, copiers, and related hardware to a third-party provider, businesses can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and gain better control over their print environment.

MPS providers assess current usage, recommend improvements, supply consumables, handle maintenance, and implement security protocols—all while streamlining workflow and reducing environmental impact. This service allows companies to focus on their core operations without the burden of managing print infrastructure.
MPS is more than just outsourcing your printing—it’s about optimizing your print environment to save money, boost productivity, and reduce waste.
5 Signs Your Business Needs Managed Print Services:
- You’re Not Sure What You’re Spending on Printing
If you can’t answer the question, “How much do we spend on printing each month?”—you’re not alone. Many companies underestimate their print costs, which can account for up to 3% of annual revenue. Between toner, paper, maintenance, and equipment, the costs add up quickly. MPS gives you visibility into your print spend and helps you control it.
- Your IT Team Is Bogged Down with Printer Issues
Every minute your IT team spends fixing paper jams or installing drivers is time not spent on strategic projects. Managed Print Services include remote monitoring and support, meaning printer issues are often fixed before you even know they exist—freeing your IT staff to focus on what really matters.
- You Frequently Run Out of Toner or Supplies
If you’ve ever had to delay a presentation or proposal because someone forgot to order toner, it’s a red flag. MPS providers track supply levels and automate reordering to ensure you never run out again. No more emergency runs to the office supply store.
- You Have More Printers Than You Need (Or the Wrong Ones)
Over time, businesses tend to accumulate a hodgepodge of printers—many of which are inefficient or rarely used. An MPS provider conducts a print audit to assess your current environment and recommend a right-sized fleet. This leads to lower costs, better performance, and reduced environmental impact.
- You’re Concerned About Document Security
Printers are often the weakest link in your network security. Confidential documents left on the tray, unsecured wireless printing, or lack of user authentication can all lead to data breaches. MPS introduces secure print release, user tracking, and compliance-ready solutions to protect your sensitive information.
