Look at your maintenance contracts on your printers and copiers.  Costs of new equipment is so low that a throw away policy might make sense.

The number of copies, distance to be walked, misplaced documents left in printer trays, need to have a printed proof before sending a document by email, more efficient use of time must be considered in making printing equipment purchasing decisions.  Also, because of the low prices of printer equipment location of equipment decisions are easier to make.  Put a device, for low volume projects, where ever it is going to be used efficiently.

After a detailed analysis is completed determine where the high volume is taking place and route high volume to machines that are priced properly on a per copy basis.  All other low volume copying, faxing and scanning can be done on inexpensive machines placed throughout the work environment.

Once determined contact three office supply operations and set up a generic quote for these items.

Insist that your staff abide by the rules and purchase generic items as much as possible.

Use on line ordering with the generic list as a drop down and fix on line ordering so that only items on the list can be purchased.  Other items need special permission.
