Printing is one office output that can add up faster than others. Why? Because supplies, toner, excessive use, inappropriate use, and waste all go unnoticed by employers often, driving print costs over budget and requiring extra funds every month.

Luckily, an office equipment vendor will have a few solutions to help. The top two answers are managed print services or in-house production printing, the latter of which we’ll follow here.
Production print outsourcing is where many print companies drive up costs because they know the value of sending out a project for completion. But what if you could get it in house and save tons of money?
