Watch Your Wallet, Westlake: 6 Printing Pitfalls to Dodge in 2025

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been knee-deep in a print job, only to realize your toner is older than Crocker Park! If you’re like most Westlake businesses, print-related expenses nibble away at your bottom line more than you’d think—sometimes as silently as the Cuyahoga River in the early morning. Don’t fret! At addo Solutions, we love helping our neighbors tee up for success with smart, stress-free IT solutions (and yes, we keep printer headaches on par with a Lake Erie breeze).

Here’s a witty walkthrough of the most common ways local companies overspend on printing, and how our friendly experts can help you outfox those sneaky costs:

1. Toner Overload: The Cornucopia Conundrum Ever peeked in your Westlake office closet only to discover enough toner to supply the next three Falls Fests? While being prepared is great, expiration is real—toner does have a shelf life! Old cartridges can lose their zip, costing you in waste and space. Pro tip: Let us set up automated monitoring so you maintain the just right amount (think Goldilocks, but for printers).

2. Color Printing Overkill: When Black & White Will Do Do you really need the annual TPS report in Technicolor, or could classic black-and-white do the trick? Color printing is notoriously pricey—why pay more for the fireworks when all you need is the info? Our smart configs make monochrome default, so you can save for that next Company Picnic at Clague Park.

3. The Dreaded Single-Sided Slip-Up In beautiful Westlake, we respect our Metroparks—and our budgets! Double-sided printing isn’t just green: it stretches your dollars and your paper. When every sheet works twice as hard, you pocket the difference (and maybe save a tree or two!).

4. No Print Controls: Anyone, Anytime? Not So Fast! It’s fun to let the team work freely, but with no print restrictions, you risk blowing through reams like pizza at a family reunion. We’ll help install user logins and friendly reminders; suddenly, folks print just what they need—no more, no less.

5. Outdated Printers: Energy Hogs Lurking in the Breakroom Old printers = high energy bills. Give your bottom line—and the Westlake grid—a break! Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient models helps you save (and, bonus, no more cringing at the utility bill).

6. The Last-Minute Toner Tango Does your office have an unofficial tradition of panic-ordering toner during rush hour on Detroit Road? Let’s break the cycle. With proper inventory monitoring from addo Solutions, you’ll always order just in time—no rush, no extra costs, just smooth sailing.
