What is a print audit?

A print audit is where specialist software is installed onto a PC on your office network. The software rapidly assesses the print devices on your computer network and starts to monitor their usage and print jobs. Once the software has had a reasonable amount of time to gather information about your printers, photocopiers and multifunctional devices it can then produce very comprehensive reports showing where time and money can be saved. This in essence is a print audit
