Are Managed Print Services Worth It?

If your office prints anything beyond a handful of pages a day, Managed Print Services (MPS) are almost always worth it. From cost savings and uptime to environmental impact and IT efficiency, the value of MPS goes well beyond toner refills.

But let’s break it down and explore the facts.

• Businesses save an average of 30% on total print costs with MPS.
• MPS reduces help desk tickets related to printing by up to 95%.
• Offices spend less time managing printers and more time getting work done.

With Konica Minolta technology and local support from Abadan, MPS becomes more than a cost saver—it becomes a business enabler.

What Are Managed Print Services?

Managed Print Services take the burden of managing print hardware, software, supplies, and support off your plate. Instead of reacting to issues like empty toner cartridges, jammed printers, or unpredictable print costs, MPS brings predictability and performance under one smart service agreement.

Through Abadan’s implementation of PaperCut print management, the industry’s leading managed print services application, clients gain control over their print environment—along with user tracking, security, and automation.

Average Cost Savings with MPS

Here’s what the numbers say:

Hidden Costs MPS Helps Eliminate

Many companies are surprised at the “silent spend” that unmanaged printing causes:

• Waste from uncollected documents
• Over-purchasing of toner and consumables
• Undetected misuse (personal print jobs, color abuse, etc.)
• IT tickets for minor issues

Through Abadan’s MPS offering, powered by PaperCut software and Konica Minolta devices, print environments become smart, secure, and accountable.

More Than Just Printers: A Total Print Ecosystem

MPS from Abadan includes:

• Automatic supply replenishment
• Predictable monthly costs
• On-site service with local parts and people
• Advanced security and user-level tracking
• Support for hybrid and remote workflows

And because Abadan is family-owned and based in Richland, whether you’re in Walla Walla, or Yakima, support comes with a handshake and a first-name relationship—not a 1-800 number.

Is It Right for Every Business?

Managed Print Services are ideal for:

• Offices with 10+ employees
• Industries with heavy compliance needs (like law, finance, healthcare)
• Schools, municipalities, and local government offices
• Multi-location businesses that need standardization

Even small businesses often find value once printing exceeds ~2,000 pages per month.

Real-World Example: What One Local Business Gained

A Tri-Cities architecture firm previously handled all printing in-house with no controls or reporting. After partnering with Abadan:

• Printing costs dropped by 28%
• Internal IT stopped dealing with print tickets entirely
• The team now uses secure mobile printing across locations

And they didn’t have to lift a finger—we handled setup, supply tracking, and maintenance from day one.
