The idea
Evidence, not opinion.
Most businesses have no idea what they actually spend on printing — because the cost is scattered across leases, toner orders, service calls, and wasted time.
Here's the kind of thing the numbers reveal: in the example we priced together, an office-store color printer ran about 4.58¢ per black page and 21.27¢ per color page once toner and maintenance were counted. At low volume, nobody notices. At serious volume, it's an anchor — and it's exactly what an assessment catches.
Print Navigator pulls it all into one place. We map your environment, collect your real volumes, and identify your true cost per page — so any recommendation we make is based on your reality, not a salesperson's hunch. It lets us say "here's what's actually happening," instead of "here's what I think you should buy."
Businesses don't struggle because they lack information. They struggle because they lack clarity.

What Print Navigator looks at
Three ways the same assessment is used.
One-for-one against an office-store printer. A department. Or a fleet strategy — the operational and financial plan. The report is packaged the same way. The scope is yours.
2
Department
A workgroup often accumulates desktop printers around one shared machine. We look at that department as a unit — volumes, supplies, and the true cost of keeping both.
3
Fleet strategy
The operational and financial plan: which devices stay, which consolidate, what service covers, and the five-year outlook — so the decision is yours.
1 · One-for-one vs office-store printer + toner
A $600 printer can cost more than commercial equipment.
At 2,000 black-and-white pages and 1,000 color pages a month, the purchase price is only the beginning. Toner yield, drums, maintenance, service, and equipment all belong in the same comparison.
Office-store benchmark
Brother MFC-L3720CDW
$304.22/month
- $91.52 — 2,000 black pages, including toner and maintenance
- $212.70 — 1,000 color pages, including toner and maintenance
- About $600 upfront — equipment purchase is separate
Commercial Toshiba illustration
Right-sized MFP package
$205.00/month
- $120.00 — illustrative 60-month equipment lease
- $20.00 — 2,000 black pages with service and supplies
- $65.00 — 1,000 color pages with service and supplies
About $99/month — or $1,191/year — lower in this example.
Illustrative benchmark, not a quote. Actual equipment, lease factors, page rates, taxes, delivery, and monthly volume vary. Print Navigator replaces assumptions with your current fleet data and a proposal built for your office.

- What each device really costs youCost per page and cost per month, device by device.
- Where you're over-provisionedThe desktop printers and underused machines quietly draining budget.

Consolidate six desktop printers into two right-sized MFPs, move to one predictable monthly agreement covering service and toner, and cut cost per page by more than half.
Illustrative sample. Real recommendations reflect your actual usage.
Not a hypothetical
Real reports, on real desks.
Print Navigator isn't a brochure promise — it's a bound report we've been putting in front of Orange County businesses for years. Fleet map, real volumes, true cost per page, and a recommendation you can trace back to your own numbers.
Yours gets built the same way: from what's actually happening in your office, not a template.
Why it matters
This is where the honest conversation starts.
There's no pressure and no obligation. Whether or not you ever buy a thing from us, you walk away knowing your numbers — and most business owners have never seen them laid out this clearly before.
That's the point. We'd rather earn your trust with the truth than win a quote with a pitch.
