When people hear “managed print services,” they often think of large enterprises with sprawling fleets of printers. But small businesses can benefit just as much—if not more—from the efficiency, cost savings, and support that managed print brings.

Less Hassle, More Control

Even a few printers can become a headache to manage. Toner runs out unexpectedly, maintenance is hit-or-miss, and no one really knows who’s printing what—or why. Managed print services (MPS) remove the guesswork by centralizing support and automating routine tasks.

With MPS, you get:

  • Automatic toner tracking and replenishment
  • Proactive maintenance to prevent downtime
  • Detailed usage reports that help control costs

Scaled for Small Teams

Managed print doesn’t require a massive investment or a full IT department. Solutions are scalable—whether you’re managing two printers or twenty. As your business grows, your print environment adapts with it.

Predictable Costs, Fewer Surprises

One of the biggest advantages for small businesses is cost predictability. With MPS, you typically pay a flat monthly rate that includes supplies, service, and support—making it easier to budget and avoid surprise expenses.

Don’t Overlook Security and Sustainability

Smaller teams may assume they’re not at risk, but unsecured printers can leave sensitive business or customer data exposed. MPS can help implement user authentication and secure print release options—without the need for complex infrastructure.

Plus, MPS helps reduce waste with default settings like duplex printing and usage monitoring—supporting both your bottom line and your sustainability goals.
