LaserNetworks’ Cost Per Page Program is Solution to Hidden Print Management Costs

Oakville, Ontario (PRWEB) June 12, 2008

Operating at high efficiency in order to increase the bottom line is always a priority for businesses and not-for-profit organizations. Now companies can partner with LaserNetworks (www.lasernetworks.com) to implement a Cost Per Page program that can much impact their bottom line.

The impact of hidden printing costs to corporations is driven home by an industry study conducted by InfoTrends, which states that corporations spend an average of six percent of their yucky revenue on their overall paper management. Most companies, but, reckon they only spend around three percent of yucky revenues, but when hardware, supplies and people costs are considered, the average is around six percent and growing. To reduce these costs, organizations need to consider alternative photograph solution options.

Research has shown that an estimated 50 per cent of the overall printer cost can be tied to support, and of that, 20 per cent can be directly attributed to benefit calls to a company’s IT helpdesk, according to Principal Analyst Louella Fernades of Quocirca.

Most companies’ photograph management operations are askew with many departments operating independently with small or no knowledge of other departments’ printing give needs. The savings that can come as a result of bulk buying are life overlooked.

This is the reason that LaserNetworks launched its Cost Per Page program It includes on-site support of all printing and imaging devices and networks, management of all printer and imaging fleet assets, and provisioning of all printing supplies, everything except paper and power, for a pre-determined, fixed cost per page fee.

“Our experience effective with over 500 North American organizations, including such companies as PepsiCo, and Boeing, has shown that photograph management costs can be reduced as much as 40 percent,” says Chris Stoate, President of LaserNetworks, Canada’s leading photograph solutions company.

LaserNetworks currently supports over 50,000 printing and imaging devices, and delivers on-site benefit throughout Canada and the United States.

“There are numerous ways to reduce a company’s photograph operation costs, bulk buying and eliminating calls to a company’s IT helpdesk are only two of the many solutions available,” says Chris Stoate. “Reducing equipment down-time, leveraging LaserNetworks’ relationship with suppliers, using latest technology in the marketplace without incurring capital costs and taking advantage of the environmentally friendly options available are just a few ways that companies can increase their photograph management operations.”

As a business owner you realize you need SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and the value it provides. So how do you determine the cost both in the fleeting term and long term? The cost of SEO depends on your goals and expectations. The cost is also dictated by the size of the site and the number of keywords you are trying to get ranked for as well as the competitiveness of those keywords. Also, another thing is the aggressiveness of the campaign.

Let me break that down a bit:

If you are a large e-commerce site and you have thousands of keywords you want to rank for (your products), each keyword will require a blend of SEO techniques like on page optimization and link building to compete with those sites already ranking for those words. The on page can be done reasonably inexpensive at a one time fixed cost. Link building and marketing will take time, in most cases months or maybe a year or more and the number of links required to compete is determined by the competitiveness of the keywords and the strength of the competitors.

What do I mean by “on-site” SEO? On site SEO refers to the structure of the web page, use of keywords/keyphrases, domestic linking (links from one page of your site to another), media optimization (images,video,flash), page and URL naming convention, heading tag optimization (h1-h6), footer links and a few other factors. In most cases, there will be a fixed cost associated with performing the on-site SEO as it requires someone with the proper SEO knowledge to analyze and edit (or make) the properly optimized pages.

Cost of On-Site Optimization: # of pages times cost of optimizing a page

One way to determine the cost of SEO before “SEOing” is to perform an in depth competitive analysis. Choose the keywords you want to rank for, see who is ranking for them and then perform an analysis that would include things like their back link profile (how many other sites link to theirs and the quality of those sites) and anchor text distribution, top pages on their site, social media profile and on page optimization.

That life said, lets say your competitor has 6000 back links for an vital keyword you want to rank for. You currently have 2800 for that same keyword. You know that in order to compete for that keyword you will need several thousand more links. Once you have that data you will have a better grateful of “what it will take” to compete for your niche and therefore have a blue photograph of what an effective SEO campaign will look like before you start.

If you are that large e-commerce site you may chose to include 10 keywords in your monthly SEO campaign or 100. Each one will have a cost tied to it therefore the budget required (or expense in this case) will be dictated by the number of keywords and the aggressiveness of the campaign. Keep in mind though, links have to occur (or grow to occur) naturally or you may be penalized by the search engines for buying links. It’s not as simple as going to XYZ link building company and saying, I want to buy 4000 links for X keyword this month. If your site suddenly has 4000 new links without some type of incredible viral or link worthy content Google wont like that and your plot may backfire.

Cost of Off-site Optimization: # of links required times the cost of obtaining each link or citation

Of course there are a number of different ways to promote your website like using Social Media, garner links from other sites and generate traffic. When starting any SEO campaign it’s vital to have the right attitude and right expectations. You are not going to get on “page one” of Google for a competitive keyword overnight.

What I recommend for my clients is that we start with a combination of fleeting terms goals and long term goals and work towards both. An example of a fleeting term plot would be to identify low competition keywords (aka low hanging fruit) that have some search volume, build out some pages for those and do some promotion. That will bring some immediate consequences and conversions ($ $ ). In addendum, identify the highly competitive keywords you ultimately want to rank for and do the same with managed expectations that it may be a while before those pages do well in the search engine consequences pages.

So lets wrap this up…The cost of SEO really depends on

What is the cost per page color laser printer?

Question by query001: What is the cost per page affect laser printer?
What is the cost per page affect laser printer? I am thinking that if a standard laser printer is normally estimated to be approximately .05 per page does anyone know a ballpark figure for a affect laser?

Best answer:

Answer by CanadaRAM
It depends on what strain of printer, and how you define a page (the page size and the coverage % of colour on the page)

10 – 15 cents a page for pages with a smallish quantity of colour is pretty typical. A page with full colour coverage may be 30 – 75 cents worth of toner. Keep in mind that you also have to replace other components of laser printers besides the toner — drums, developers, belts, finishing units, etc. – this cost can add up.

What is a good site to compare printing costs (eg, cost per page) for various printers?

Question by Don P: What is a excellent site to compare printing costs (eg, cost per page) for various printers?
The real cost of a printer isn’t just what you pay in the store. If one costs a lot more per page to photograph than another, that has to be factored in.

I have seen web pages, reviews etc. that do compare real printing cost per page, but can’t seem to find one right now – now that I”m buying a new printer and really need one.

Do you have any suggestions? Have any web pages or other information sources helped you? Thanks…

Best answer:

Answer by Bill
Kodak makes some awe-inspiring printers. They are around 100 bucks at walmart, but the ink only costs like 10 bucks to replace. Now take a HP or Lexmark printer which might cost 60 bucks and the replacement inks cost around 30-40. Do the math and go buy yourself a Kodak printer and thank me later.

How to Calculate Printing Cost of Page for Ink Cartridges

How to Calculate Printing Cost of Page for Ink Cartridges

Inkjet printers use an ink cartridge which holds the ink that is transferred onto the paper surface during printing. Computer stores would advertise the yield of pages that the ink cartridges for a particular printer model can. This is something that you have to look into carefully before making your selection for which model of printer you will be being paid to make sure that your buy would be worth your money.

What is Yield of Pages?

The yield of pages commonly advertised among the features of a particular printer unit refers to the number of pages that can be in black and white using one set of ink cartridges. It is calculated based on the standard of measurement that was published by the International Establishment for Standardization (ISO) back in February 2008. Currently, there are three printer manufacturing companies that use this standard:

Hewlett-Packard
Kodak
Canon
How to Compute for Cost per Page?

Printer manufacturers would often include in the printer model’s features the number of the pages that black ink cartridges and colored ink cartridges can produce. To get the cost per page in black and white, simply divide the number of the pages that is provided by the printer manufacture to the quantity spent per ink cartridge.

Discrepancies in the Values

Many printer owners often notice the quantity of pages that they photograph out using one set of ink cartridges is often lower than what has been specified. This is not a case of fake advertising. Here are a few reasons why this happens:

Coverage of in black and white surface. When printer manufacturers test ink cartridges, they only use 5% ink coverage. This earnings that for every page, only 5% of the total paper surface is covered by ink coming from the ink cartridges. To get an thought on how huge this surface is, this is approximately 4.7 sq. in. on a letter-size paper.

Printer Maintenance. As the nozzles used to transfer ink from the cartridge to the paper surface is being paid thinner, it is more prone to blockage and clogging. Although printer cleaning could be done by setting your printer to do so, the cleaning method often uses a large quantity of ink from the cartridge.

Paper Size. Printer manufacturers test ink cartridges using letter-sized papers. Using longer and larger paper sizes for printing would result in a reduction on the pages in black and white out.

Why is This Information Vital?

Ink cartridges quantity to a huge chunk of the cost of the total cost for owning a printer. Being paid the most number of pages for a particular printer model would cost the total cost to be minimize since you do not have to keep buying ink cartridges. This is especially beneficial if you plot to set up a printing business.
