Why Managed Print Services Save You More Than Just Money

When people first hear about Managed Print Services (MPS), the focus is usually on saving money—and yes, reducing print costs is a big part of it. But there’s so much more value to be gained when you switch to a managed print solution. From enhanced security to improved productivity and even environmental benefits, MPS can transform the way your business handles printing.

Let’s explore the hidden advantages beyond the price tag.


💷 Save Money – But Smarter

We’ll start with the obvious: Managed Print Services can significantly reduce your overall print spend. With Carden Managed Print, we help you cut back on wasteful printing, streamline your use of paper and toner, and introduce fixed monthly costs so you’re never hit with unexpected bills.

You’ll also reduce downtime and costly emergency callouts, as our proactive monitoring catches most issues before they affect your workflow. No more running to the shops for toner at the last minute or paying over the odds for repairs.


🔐 Keep Your Documents Secure

Printers are often overlooked when it comes to cybersecurity, but they’re connected to your network and handle sensitive information every day. With a secure managed print setup, you gain access to print security features like:

  • User authentication
  • Encrypted print jobs
  • Secure print release

This means only authorised staff can access confidential documents—and nothing gets left on the printer tray for wandering eyes.

It also helps keep you GDPR-compliant by ensuring that your business has proper control over printed and scanned data.


📈 Give Time Back to Your Team

Think about how often someone in the office ends up dealing with a jammed printer or ordering more paper and toner. That’s time that could be spent on more valuable tasks.

With Carden Managed Print, we handle everything—from supply monitoring to maintenance and support. Your team can simply press “print” and get on with their day, without worrying about the backend.

Less admin, fewer headaches, and more time focused on what really matters.


🌱 Print Greener Without the Guesswork

Businesses today are increasingly aware of their environmental impact—and your printing habits are part of that. Managed Print Services help you take control by tracking usage and identifying areas to cut back.

We can configure settings like:

  • Defaulting to double-sided printing
  • Using black and white by default
  • Limiting high-volume jobs

It’s better for the environment, and it’s great for your sustainability reports.


🛠️ Get Reliable Support—Whenever You Need It

When something goes wrong with an unmanaged printer, it can disrupt your entire day. With Managed Print, support is built-in. Our team at Carden monitors your print environment remotely and often resolves issues before you even notice them.

If a printer needs on-site attention, we’ll take care of it—fast.

This proactive approach keeps your systems running smoothly and reduces the stress of printer problems in the workplace.


🔄 Scalable for Your Growing Business

Whether you’re expanding, moving offices, or adapting to hybrid working, Managed Print Services scale with you. You won’t need to invest in brand new equipment or redo your whole setup. Just tell us what you need, and we’ll adjust your solution accordingly.


✅ Final Thoughts

Managed Print Services go well beyond cutting costs. They give you better security, less downtime, more control, and a sustainable approach to printing. Most importantly, they free up your time and resources to focus on running your business—not running to fix the printer.
