The Resurgence of Print: Why Office Printing is on the Rise and How to Control It

The return to the office is in full swing, and with it comes a familiar sound: the whirring of printers and the rustle of paper. While many predicted the "death of print" with the rise of digital technology, the reality is that office printing is experiencing a resurgence. At Managed Print Solutions Ltd, we understand this evolving landscape and offer comprehensive document solutions to help businesses in London, High Wycombe, the South East, and across the UK manage their print infrastructure effectively.

Why the Print Surge?

Several factors contribute to the increased demand for office printing:

• Hybrid Working Challenges: While hybrid work models offer flexibility, they often lead to a less structured approach to document management. Employees may print documents at home and then again in the office, or vice-versa, leading to duplicated print jobs and increased overall volume.
• 
  
• The Tangible Touch: Despite the digital age, many still prefer the tangible aspect of printed documents for certain tasks. This is especially true for collaborative work, brainstorming sessions, and presentations. The ability to annotate, highlight, and physically interact with a document remains valuable.

• Security Concerns: For sensitive information, many businesses still prefer the perceived security of printed documents over digital files, particularly when dealing with confidential client data or internal strategic planning.

• Habit and Preference: Let's face it – some people simply prefer working with printed materials. Old habits die hard, and for many employees, printing remains an ingrained part of their workflow.

The Cost of Uncontrolled Printing

This resurgence in printing can lead to significant cost increases for businesses if not properly managed. Expenses related to paper, toner, printer maintenance, and energy consumption can quickly escalate. Furthermore, uncontrolled printing can contribute to security risks, environmental waste, and reduced productivity.

This powerful tool provides businesses with the visibility and control they need to manage their printing effectively.

Here’s how it can help:

• Cost Allocation: Assign print costs to specific departments or projects for accurate budgeting and accountability.

• Print Quotas: Set limits on individual or departmental printing to control costs and encourage responsible printing habits.

• Secure Printing: Implement features like "pull printing" or "follow me printing" to ensure that sensitive documents are only released to authorised users, minimising the risk of unauthorised access.

• Rule-Based Printing: Enforce printing policies, such as mandatory duplex printing or greyscale printing for certain document types, to reduce paper consumption and costs.

• Environmental Impact: Track and report on your printing footprint to identify opportunities for reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
