For most organisations in Ireland, printing & scanning are still very much a part of daily operations & the concept of a “paperless office” hasn’t quite materialised for most companies as yet.

While the past number of years has significantly changed the office printing landscape, printers and photocopiers are still an ongoing requirement for most organisations.

It is often not considered how much waste and energy printing generates, and for companies who are seeking to meet their sustainability goals, while also reducing operational costs, office printing is quite often overlooked but easy to fix.

Bizquip work in partnership with our clients to take control of their print environment, reducing unnecessary waste, saving money, and making it easier to meet environmental goals.

Our sustainable managed print services offering is designed to make a real impact, both on cost reduction and overall environmental impact.

What are sustainable managed print services?

Sustainable managed print services (MPS) are about implementing measures to take control of your print environment with the aim to reduce waste, save energy, and streamline operations.

It is also about rethinking whether printing certain documents is even necessary in the first place.

Bizquip work with clients to deliver solutions that include:

Energy-efficient print hardware, including photocopiers / MFDs, single function printers & scanners, and production print devices, reducing C02 emissions.
Print management software to assist with reducing unnecessary print volumes and waste, increase security, and reduce IT time spent managing print devices, by introcucing solutions such as Papercut or CloudStream.
Print reduction strategies including introducing rule-based print settings such as duplex & mono only printing as standard.
Remote monitoring software to automate toner orders & meter readings, ongoing device monitoring and providing live usage reports to monitor print volumes in line with the print reduction strategy.
Offsetting necessary print consumption by replanting trees across reforestation projects, in partnership with PrintReleaf.
Reviewing clients printing habits with the view to introduce digital workflows and business process automation tools to reduce paper dependency and overall print volumes through ECM solutions.

Our approach is practical, we introduce a measurable way to reduce costs and overall environmental impact, with the the view to improving efficiency across your organisation.

What makes Bizquip different?

What sets Bizquip’s managed print services apart is our ability to deliver tailored & bespoke solutions to specifically fit clients requirements, backed by industry-leading technology and long-standing internal expertise.

Sustainability through long lasting partnerships

We work with leading manufacturers such as Ricoh, who’s latest A3 colour multifunction devices are designed with energy efficiency, reduced plastic content, and lower emissions in mind.

For every page printed, we can help you ensure there’s a sustainable offset.

Our partnership with PrintReleaf means your print usage is automatically tracked and offset by planting trees in certified reforestation projects. For businesses aiming to enhance their sustainability credentials, it’s a simple but powerful step forward.

Tools that make it easy to track impact

Our team can assist clients with accurately measure the environmental footprint of their existing print infrastructure, using a carbon calculation tool.

This tool offers a clear breakdown of energy consumption, C02 emissions and costs, highlighting where changes and improvements can be made.

The calculation tool compares existing devices with new, energy & cost-efficient print hardware options.

Papercut print management software tracks all print and scanning usage, providing a wide range of data and reports, including environmental impact reports, print volumes per user / department / office.

These reports can be automatically sent to stakeholders highlighting a wide range of statistics for any given period.

In almost all cases, upgrading legacy print hardware actually saves companies money, due to the more competitive running costs of new print hardware, and our flexible rental options available.

Regular reviews and audits mean we don’t just set and forget, our team work with you to continually improve the sustainability of your fully managed print environment.

Print less, print smarter

Reducing your impact doesn’t mean compromising on productivity.

Our approach focuses on implementing smarter printing habits for clients & their employees:

Pull printing & authentication: Only collect the documents you need from your print device, when you need them. This helps to significantly reduce waste and ensures confidential documents remain confidential. Print jobs are not released until the user enters their pin code at the MFD and selects the print jobs to print.

Rules-based printing: Limit colour printing or large jobs to certain teams or users. Prompt users to print larger print jobs from more cost-effective devices.

Toner recycling & sustainable supplies: We offer toner recycling programmes we supply to our clients, with a zero-to-landfill policy in place. Our dedicated supplies team can provide clients with eco-friendly paper options.
