SELECTION
When reviewing the respective offerings relating
to a purchase we strongly advise that the requirements are
carefully studied. We have provided a
questionnaire and
proposal form which may be helpful in guiding the
user.Where equipment is supplied through leasing
contracts containing "click" usage pricing for maintenance and
supplies it is important to list what the definition of a click is
in terms of paper area (i.e. A4, A3, duplex and so on) and what is
covered in the price (e.g. replacement items such as toner, drums,
developer, fuser units and so forth).
STRATEGY AND MANAGEMENT
For large enterprises with significant ICT
networks and security we strongly recommend a review of the options
for print fleet management, initially through a pilot project to
assess prospects for savings. This requires an audit of the section
or sections to be involved in the pilot in order to generate a
baseline of print activity.
Although the costs of desktop inkjets such as the
Hewlett Packard Officejet range can appear attractive for small
offices with low volume throughput such an exercise would allow
comparison of a workgroup approach using MFD laser equipment.
In any case it is a good practice to ensure that
a campus print strategy fits with the overall enterprise strategy
for the University.
