Print Responsibly is a new, more cost-effective way to handle “everyday printing” and other tasks like copying, scanning and faxing at BGSU. The University will contract with a company with expertise in managing print services. BGSU will no longer own any non-specialized printers, copiers, fax machines or scanners, and will not be responsible for purchasing/replacing toner, or other materials or maintenance costs. We will simply pay a per page price for printing/copying/faxing services.

Goals

• Reduce overall printing costs (including the cost of equipment, consumables, energy and service)
• Standardize equipment
• Improve office functionality and productivity by deploying more multifunction devices that offer more features and functionality to clients
• Provide better customer service through improved access to information including proactive maintenance to reduce downtime
• Reduce waste by associating a cost with each page printed making end users more aware of how much they are consuming
