Your print device manufacturer has standardized toner yield figures. The baseline they typically use is 5 percent coverage. Service providers and suppliers attempt to draw certain conclusions from this number that could adversely impact your financial forecasts for print expenditures.
No company consistently distributes documents at these standards. As part of Bay Imaging’ Cost Management Program, we will analyze each of your print devices to determine the “real” yield, based on your actual application, type and size of documents printed, and other related factors. Imagine making forecasts based on actual data as opposed to hypothetical baselines that don’t really mean a thing in your organization!
