Pride Park-based Document Network Services is helping businesses save money with the launch of a new service aimed at identifying the hidden costs behind an everyday office task.

The company, which specialises in providing Xerox office hardware and software solutions, has launched its new print audit service in a bid to help buinesses eliminate the wastage associated with their office equipment and save money on their monthly print and copy costs.

An essential part of everyday office life for most businesses, printing costs can easily spiral out of control. The new print audit service identifies ink toner usage and evaluates wastage and the cost of refills in order to determine which office devices are the most cost effective.

The team from DNS will then provide recommendations for the printers, photocopiers and multi-functional devices that will help businesses significantly reduce their overall print costs.

Since printing has an impact on the environment, a print audit can also help businesses reduce their carbon footprint by reducing the amount of consumables used, the electricity used to run the equipment and the overall impact on the planet.

Commenting on the launch of the new service, Darren Marsh, Managing Director of Document Network Services, said:

"We are delighted to be launching this new dedicated service. Printing is one of the costs that businesses often overlook, but an efficient printing and copying strategy can reduce their costs dramatically.

"Our new service will allow customers to benefit from our unrivalled experience, expertise and levels of customer care."

Document Network Services have provided service and support facilities as well as offering an unrivalled choice of flexible finance options for the past fourteen years.
