Jay? Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 In the course of my job, i print a lot of documents. Well, my company just got a HUGE shipment, and about two hours ago, i signed an expenditure request for $860 dollars. To print things. granted, it's to print roughly 25,000 pages, but still. My company just dropped almost a grand, on printing.
Neowulf Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Heh, my office has been trying to get approval to drop $15k on a large format scanner so they don't have to ship the 1-2 maps they get a month over to a company 25 miles away.
Jay? Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 We have a relatively nice copy machine, but the client wanted this account resolved by Tuesday, which means that we need the whole thing printed by monday morning, and we have no weekend staff.
Jay? Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 It's definitely got potential, but we're also definitely losing money on this project. It's a good investment to make though, since if we can impress this client, they're easily a 200,000 a month client.
BuccaneerRex Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I didn't have to print them, but I do corporate training and we'd regularly have $2000+ printing bills for training manuals. It's pretty expensive to print and bind 30 copies of a 500 page training manual.
Brunswick Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 The most I've ever spent on printing was like $50 for printing twelve GURPS books I bought off of their website. I was tired of them being PDFs so I just had them printed and bound at an office supply store.
Jay? Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 Okay, so the printing bill was increased due to a number of different reasons, and crested the 1K mark yesterday. We paid the contractor managing the specialty roughly 4k. We only billed $5,260 on the case q_q. On the other hand, we DID snag a much more favorable contract with that client for their numerous smaller reviews. totally worth it.
Jay? Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 That's still a 260 dollar profit! It's true, however, on a case as large as this we should have made roughly 3 grand.
BuccaneerRex Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 That's still a 260 dollar profit! PIZZA PARTY!
okamikk Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 If i may, i prefer Rex's response and as such <hyperlinkURL= > PIZZA PARTY!!! <hyperlink>
Gristle Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 4.5 cents a copy is pretty cheap. My company regularly charges our clients that for just monochrome office printing.
