If your printers are consistently causing problems – running out of toner, breaking down, or costing more than expected – managed print services (MPS) can alleviate that hassle. MPS, in simple terms, means someone else takes care of your printers. That includes supplying toner, handling maintenance, fixing faults promptly, and monitoring what is being printed.
Instead of guessing your costs each month, you just pay for what you print. No surprise bills. No chasing supplies. And no downtime when your printer decides to stop working in the middle of a deadline.
At The Photocopier Shop, we’ve offered managed print services for over 30 years. We work with reputable brands like Develop and Konica Minolta, and our engineers have the expertise to deliver results. If something breaks, we aim to be there within three working hours.
We’re a family-run business based in Leyland, and we support businesses all over the UK. When you call us, a real person answers – no bots, no call centres, no endless phone menus. Our pricing is transparent, our contracts are straightforward, and we maintain fairness from the outset.
If you’re fed up with printer chaos or costs that never seem to add up, it’s worth considering whether managed print services can help resolve the issue. Contact us today, and we’ll let you know straight away if we’re the right fit.
Benefits of managed print services
Most businesses don’t realise how much they spend on printing until it gets out of hand. managed print services fix that. You only pay for what you print, and the price includes toner, service, and support. Instead of buying supplies in bulk or dealing with breakdowns, everything’s rolled into one simple cost-per-page plan.
It’s not just about saving money, either. MPS helps you reduce waste, too. We spot print jobs that don’t need to happen, and we replace old, power-hungry machines with newer ones that work faster and use less energy. That means lower bills and fewer office headaches.
And when it comes to keeping things running, The Photocopier Shop takes care of that as well. We handle routine maintenance, install software updates, and dispatch technicians when issues arise, typically within three working hours. Most times, we’ll catch a problem before you even see it.
What’s included in managed print services
A well-managed print service begins with a thorough examination of what you’re already working with. We inspect every printer – its age, usage, and placement. Sometimes, printers are placed in the wrong locations or are being overused. By understanding your setup, we can identify and address weak spots, helping things run more smoothly.
Next, we take supply headaches off your plate. Toner doesn’t have to be anyone’s job. Our system tracks levels automatically and ships what you need before you run out. No more emergency runs or wasted time checking drawers.
Behind the scenes, we’re always watching your print fleet. With remote monitoring, we track usage patterns, downtime, and supply usage. This allows us to catch problems early and suggest simple changes that make a real difference, such as shifting volume to a less-used machine or flagging wasteful printing habits.
How much do managed print services cost?
Managed print services don’t have to be confusing or expensive. With cost-per-page pricing, you only pay for what you print. That flat rate includes everything – service, support, toner, parts, and maintenance. No surprise charges. It’s easy to track and even easier to budget for.
Some providers sneak in hidden fees, but we keep things clear. What you see is what you pay.
You also have options when it comes to hardware. If you want flexibility, short-term rentals allow you to upgrade or return machines as your needs change. Leasing works better for long-term setups. Most of our customers pair a lease or rental with our all-in cost-per-copy plan, so they get both control and convenience.
