Why Are Our Print Costs So High?

In many organizations, overlooked on-premises production print operations struggle with slow turnaround, inconsistent quality, aging equipment, and limited operational insight.

Teams route work to outside vendors, driving up costs, reducing accountability, and eroding internal value.

But your print center doesn’t have to operate this way. With the right expertise, insights, and strategy, you can take control of both printing costs and quality.

Should We Outsource Printing Operations?

Leaders of some facilities keep printing in house to maintain control. But the reality is often different. Printing functions are viewed as a necessary evil, so costs and quality go unmanaged.

Organizations may instead outsource print services to:

  • Regain visibility into costs and performance
  • Reduce unmanaged spend
  • Increase budget predictability
  • Improve service reliability and accountability
  • Scale without adding headcount
How Can We Do More with Less in Printing Operations?

With fewer people, tighter budgets, hybrid workforces, and aging systems, it’s crucial to find smarter ways to print.

Gaining some level of operational insight is the first step. For example, are our print and mail costs competitive? Are our vendors delivering benchmark efficiency? How much work are we sending off-site at high costs?

Once you have some idea about the answers, you can set strategies for improvement. Then, consolidating print services with a single, accountable partner can be a powerful next step toward achieving sustainable efficiencies.

What Are Print Center Services?

Your print production center is a key—yet often overlooked—element of your communications strategy and the overall efficiency of your workplace. ARO’s on-premises production print services transform printing from a cost center to a profit center. Our fully managed print solutions integrate these operations with your broader workplace operations.

Outsourcing print center management to the experts at ARO can help you reduce costs, speed turnarounds, and improve customer and employee satisfaction. As a single, accountable partner for print management, ARO delivers:

  • Predictable and lower costs (up to 25% in most cases)
  • Reliable service and quality levels
  • Unified services with mailroom operations where possible for greater alignment and cost savings
  • Data-driven optimization every step of the way
What Are Managed Print Services?

Managed Print Services (MPS) is a comprehensive program that oversees an organization's entire fleet of distributed office devices — printers, multifunction devices, copiers, and scanners — across one or more locations, encompassing device strategy, remote monitoring, service, and supply logistics.

ARO’s managed print solutions for healthcare, financial institutions, and other organizations bring best-in-class print technology to the table and handle the full vendor relationship on your behalf. At the center of our service model is an embedded, white-glove, on-site presence: our teams serve as the first responders for the day-to-day needs that keep the print environment running — clearing paper jams, replacing toner cartridges, replenishing paper stock, and providing hands-on end-user support at the point of need.

Leveraging the expertise of our team and the real-time insights of the AROworks analytics platform, we help you streamline processes and minimize waste related to printing and copying.

The result is a fully managed print environment where the technology, the vendor, and the on-site experience are all accountable to one trusted partner.
