One of the key benefits of managed print services is the ability to optimize your print fleet. By consolidating devices and tracking usage, a local print management company can help you identify areas where you can reduce costs and improve efficiency. Additionally, print security is becoming increasingly important for businesses of all sizes. A HP managed print services provider such as Netgear in Gibraltar can help you safeguard your sensitive information by implementing security protocols and monitoring your print environment.

Another important aspect of managed print services is sustainability. A local managed print services company can help you reduce your environmental impact by implementing recycling programs for cartridges and other supplies, as well as by consolidating your print fleet to reduce energy consumption.

When it comes to print cost reduction, MPS can help you save money in a variety of ways. By conducting a print audit, a local managed print services company can help you identify areas where you are overspending and recommend cost-saving strategies. Additionally, by managing your print supply needs, a local print vendor management company can help you avoid stockouts and unnecessary purchases.

Finally, a local managed print services company can help you improve your print environment and increase productivity by providing on-site repair and maintenance, as well as by conducting regular print environment consulting.

All in all, managed print services can help your business achieve significant savings and improvements in efficiency, security, and sustainability. A local managed print services company can provide the expertise and support you need to optimize your print environment and achieve your business goals.

Work from home and print in the office with HP ePrint!

This pandemic has produced a proper shift in our personal and professional lives. Most of us in Gibraltar have been able to work from home. Gibraltar businesses and their employees have had to adapt their office functionality and work from home in Gibraltar.

Not a big deal you would think! A laptop, a good internet connection and done! But wait! What about printing? What about collaborating with the rest of your team? All these pages that need printing and to be in the office physically ?

The solution is here. Even if it’s been around for a while, users have not really been aware of this useful feature. So at Netgear Business we want to help you learn about HP ePrint!

What is ePrint?

With HP ePrint, you can print documents simply by emailing them to the printer’s email address. Instead of using a driver or a direct connection, HP ePrint’s cloud computing technology allows you to send your print job through an HP-managed server, directly to your printer of choice. You can bring photos, documents, and more to life with the touch of a button, from literally anywhere.

What do I need in order to use HP ePrint?

Our audit team have worked with businesses, of all sizes, across Gibraltar and have compiled these top tips – No matter what the size of the business, we see these same issues resulting in businesses spending £1,000s of pounds per year that are just not necessary.

So if you’re looking at cutting costs in your business and ensuring the highest levels of data security, read on.

Printer Tips 1 – Stop printing the most expensive document in your business

The most expensive document you’ll ever print – is the document never collected from the printer.

When we conduct print audit’s, both we and businesses are astounded at the scale of uncollected documents. Save paper and ink either by reminding staff to question themselves before they print or find out about HP Printer Access Controls that provide centralised controls.

You can discover how big an issue uncollected documents are in your business by collating them for two weeks to see how much has been generated. If you’re like most businesses – you will be shocked.

Here’s how one business is seeing the benefits of HP Access Controls…

Printer Tips 2 – Limit the use of colour printing/copying in your business

Replacing colour cartridges is probably the most costly element of running in-house printers and copiers – and it’s often not necessary. Implement a policy that says the default print choice should be black and white is a practical and simple solution.

As part of our print audits we identify how many pages a business currently prints in colour and how many in mono. Working with you we can calculate how much you could save in expensive colour ink costs by moving to a fixed cost per page Managed Print Service.

Printer Tips 3 – Legacy printed quarterly, monthly and weekly reports

Most businesses are surprised at the number of legacy reports produced by staff across the business. These reports can run into several pages and include a wealth of colour graphs and tables. Even if the reports are still used by some staff – are all recipients still using them? Maybe the reports have been superceeded and no one has remembered to let the person who produces them religiously each month, that they’re no longer needed.

Often the most efficient and process driven businesses find that pages and pages of reports are being printed each week/month/quarter.

• Are they still relevant and read?
• Are they double sided or single side print?
• Are they printed in colour when black and white is fine?
• Do they need to be printed at all?

Printed reports still have a place… but with live analytics, online meetings and data security most businesses are rationalising their printed reports.

Printer Tips 4 – Prevent HR documents, Pay Slips and client information printing to unattended printers.

We’ve all heard of the horrors of documents being printed and left on unintended printers or being picked up and read by the wrong person. Check where your sensitive data is being printed or copied – it’s not just about shredding.

If printed information is sensitive to your business then you should have ‘at printer authentication’ set-up on your printer network – or find out about switching to an HP print environment that delivers this feature. Authenticated printing.

Follow us on Facebook to receive the full 10 tips as we share them with you over the next few weeks.

If you print over 1,000 sheets a month in your business and you’re based in Gibraltar, you’re eligible for a free print audit. Contact the team on mps@netgear.gi

How we help business create a secure print environment

For Gibraltar based businesses printing over 1,000 pages per month, we offer a free print audit.

It’s not unusual for us to substantially reduce the number of printers within the business, by reviewing your office layout and recommending set-up options that reduce wasted print – these changes not only bring more efficiency, but they enable us to secure a low monthly fixed print service fee – on average saving customers 30%.

Our Managed Print Service includes the provision of HP printers, servicing, maintenance, parts and cartridges. So should you ever have printer downtime, our engineers will be onsite, with all of the information about your network and the printers, to help them solve the issue and have you up and running again within the shorted possible time frame.

How Netgear is helping Gibraltar’s businesses with printer security

Our team of account managers and technical engineers can guide you in reviewing your existing printer set-up and recommending more secure alternatives where necessary. As HP authorised dealers we have access to the best printer security available to businesses and a full range of options to suit different business requirements.

Understanding your business is key to finding the optimum printer environment. We will work with you to determine your existing printer costs – based on counts from your existing printers. We’ll also review where in your office printers are located and in many cases, we can substantially reduce the number of printers required, while raising efficiency and cutting costs for you.

The cost advantage of a well planned printer set-up is obvious. By reducing the number of printers requiring maintenance, servicing and parts, the basic overheads will be lower. Plus, by implementing security measures such as staff authenticated printing you have the ability to monitor how teams within your business are using print and you can easily make a number of small changes to your processes and culture that will substantially reduce your print costs.

What to do now

If you’re thinking about updating your printer network and improving security over the next few months, then we’d recommend that you contact our team today. By starting early we can give you an idea of your existing printer costs with a free audit (available to businesses printing more than 1,000 pages a month). We can then recommend a print set-up that will support your business growth and provide the highest levels of security.
