PRINT A.U.D.I.T. — available with or without Managed IT
Print Cost Audit for Minnesota Businesses
Most businesses overpay for printing and never know it. Our PRINT A.U.D.I.T. finds the waste in your copier contracts and print fleet — then keeps it from coming back.

The Bill Nobody Ever Questions
Print contracts are built to be ignored: automatic renewals, per-page rates that assume volumes you don't hit, and machines sized for a business you aren't. If you're averaging 3,000 prints on a 5,000-print contract, you've been donating money to your copier company every month — for years.
Our PRINT A.U.D.I.T. reviews your bills, contracts, meter reads, and actual usage, then shows you — in plain numbers — where the waste is: overcommitted contracts, wrong-sized machines, overkill leases, and junk fees riding along on every invoice.
Then we fix it: renegotiated terms, right-sized equipment, and ongoing monitoring so the waste never quietly creeps back in.
PRINT A.U.D.I.T. isn't a standalone service we sell by the machine — it's delivered as part of our Managed IT program, so your printers, contracts, and copier security are handled by the same team that runs the rest of your technology.

Benefits of a Print Audit
What happens when someone finally reads the copier contract.
Real Savings, Found Fast
Overcommitted contracts and wrong-sized machines usually surface in the first review — savings often start with the next renewal.
Contracts That Match Reality
Page commitments, lease terms, and service rates renegotiated around what you actually print — not what a salesman projected.
Right-Sized Equipment
No more paying through the nose for an overkill machine — or burning out an underpowered one. The fleet fits the workload.
An Advocate on Your Side
We sit on your side of the table with the copier companies — we don't sell their contracts, so our only incentive is your bill going down.
What PRINT A.U.D.I.T. Covers
From the first bill review to ongoing fleet oversight.
Bill & Contract Review
Every invoice, lease, and service agreement examined line by line — including the fees nobody can explain.
Usage & Meter Analysis
Actual print volumes compared against contract commitments — the gap is usually where your money went.
Fleet Right-Sizing
Recommendations for machines that match the workload — volume, speed, color needs, and placement.
Renewal & Renegotiation Support
We flag auto-renewals before they lock you in and negotiate terms with real usage data in hand.
Print Security
Copiers are computers with hard drives full of your documents — we secure them like the network devices they are.
Ongoing Monitoring
Continued oversight of volumes and bills so savings stick — and new waste gets caught early.
Supplies & Service Coordination
Toner, maintenance, and service calls coordinated — one less vendor relationship for your office to babysit.
You Might Need a Print Audit If…
Nobody in the building knows what the copier contract actually says.
The lease auto-renewed again — and the rate went up again.
You're paying for 5,000 pages a month and printing 3,000.
There's a machine that's always broken and a service tech who's never done.
Print costs have never once appeared on a budget review.
How We Help You Succeed

What This Means for Your Bottom Line
Every IT decision, framed in the terms that matter to the person signing the check.
Lower Total Cost
Print waste is pure loss — money for pages never printed and machines never needed. An audit turns it back into margin.
Predictable & Budget-able
Contracts matched to real usage make print spend flat and predictable — no more surprise overage charges or creeping lease rates.
Protected & Compliant
Documented contracts and secured devices — copiers store images of everything they've printed, and that data deserves protection too.
