What to Expect From a Free Print Audit (And Why It’s Worth It)
If you're running a business in Bathurst, Orange, or anywhere across Central West NSW, you probably haven’t thought much about your printing setup. Most teams just hit ‘print’ and carry on - without realising how much time, money, and waste is tied up in outdated or inefficient systems.
That’s where a free print audit comes in. At Select Digital, we offer a no-obligation assessment that helps uncover hidden costs, streamline your workflow, and show you how to get more from your office printers and copiers.
Here’s what’s actually involved in a print audit, and why it’s well worth doing.
1. What Is a Print Audit?
A print audit is a deep dive into how your business prints - from the equipment you use to how often you use it, and what it’s costing you each month. It’s not a sales pitch, and it doesn’t require any commitment.
Instead, we assess:
- What machines you have and what they’re capable of
- How much you’re printing and on which devices
- Who’s using what, when, and how
- The cost of consumables like toner and paper
- Downtime or maintenance issues that are slowing your team down
By mapping all of this out, we can show you where your business might be leaking money or operating inefficiently.
2. Why Do Central West Businesses Need This?
Printing needs in Central West NSW are different from those in metro areas. You may have fewer machines, slower response times, or older leases that no longer suit your business. In many cases, we’ve found:
- Businesses are paying too much for servicing and toner
- Teams are using five devices when two would do the job
- No-one knows what the lease includes or when it ends
- Devices are outdated, unreliable, or costing more to run than to replace
A free print audit gives you a clear picture of what’s going on - and a roadmap to improve it.
3. What Happens During the Audit?
It’s a simple, low-pressure process. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: We have a quick chat to understand your business, industry, and current setup.
Step 2: Our local technician visits your office to review your devices and usage.
Step 3: We run a cost analysis, looking at your print volumes, consumable costs, service calls, and machine efficiency.
Step 4: We provide a report showing potential savings, improved configurations, or smarter alternatives.
There’s no obligation to make any changes, and the process usually takes less than an hour.
4. What Can You Gain From It?
- Cost savings: Many businesses save 20 to 40 percent simply by switching to the right equipment or plan.
- Less downtime: We identify machines that are hurting productivity.
- Smarter setups: One multifunction printer might replace three under-used devices.
- Better budgeting: You’ll have a clear idea of what you’re actually spending - and how to reduce it.
- Future planning: If you’re growing, we can recommend scalable solutions that won’t need replacing in a year’s time.
5. It’s Local, It’s Free, and It’s Worth It
Because we’re based in Bathurst and Orange, you won’t be dealing with a metro-based provider who doesn’t get your business. Our audits are run by locals, for locals, and are focused on delivering honest, practical recommendations.
Whether you lease your printers, manage them in-house, or have no idea what your setup involves - we can help.
