Smarter print. Stronger business.

Yes. Organisations in healthcare, legal, finance, and local government have specific obligations under the Australian Privacy Act around how personal information is handled and stored. Managed print services help meet those obligations by ensuring print jobs are held in a secure queue until the authorised user releases them, creating audit trails of all print activity, and keeping devices correctly configured so sensitive data isn’t retained on machine hard drives. Colourworks is a McAfee print security partner and our cloud solutions run on Microsoft Azure.

Absolutely. Small businesses are often the ones that benefit most from a managed print program, because printer problems have an outsized impact when there’s no dedicated IT team to handle them. Whether you have two devices or twenty, Colourworks can put the same proactive monitoring, automatic supply replenishment, and cost visibility in place that larger organisations rely on, sized and priced to match what you actually need.

Yes. It’s completely free with no obligation to proceed. A print assessment is a structured audit of your current printing environment: how many devices you have, what they’re actually being used for, what each page is costing you, and where inefficiencies exist. You receive a plain-language report with specific recommendations. It’s the starting point for every Colourworks engagement, and the findings often reveal cost savings that businesses had no idea were there.

A printer lease covers the hardware only, toner, repairs, software, and monitoring are still your responsibility. Managed print services bring everything under one arrangement: the device, consumables, servicing, print management software such as uniFLOW or PaperCut, and proactive monitoring by a dedicated local team. Colourworks also has an in-house software development team, meaning we can go beyond off-the-shelf solutions to automate workflows and connect your print environment to your wider business processes.

Managed print programs are typically structured around your actual print usage, replacing multiple unpredictable invoices, hardware, toner, repairs, software, with a single, consolidated arrangement. Colourworks tailors every solution to your specific needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, which means pricing reflects your real print volumes and device requirements. The starting point is always a print assessment so we understand your environment before recommending anything.

The savings vary depending on the size of your fleet and how your printing is currently managed, but most businesses find they’ve been significantly overspending without realising it. Common areas where costs drop include consolidating underused devices, reducing unnecessary colour printing, switching to default duplex printing, and eliminating reactive repair and emergency toner costs. Colourworks’ free Print Assessment is designed to show you exactly where your money is going before you make any decisions.
