What is Managed Print Services?
Managed Print Services is an end-to-end solution that provides everything that an organization needs to control output costs. It includes an initial assessment, recommends any hardware redeployments or acquisition, and establishes a cost-per-page relationship in which all parts, maintenance kits, labor, and toner supplies are included.
