Samsung launches pay per print service for businesses

Samsung joins pay-per-print brigade with service for UK customers

Samsung is to launch a pay-per-print service for UK customers within the next couple of months. Samclick is aimed at reducing total cost of ownership for firms with heavy print requirements.

Companies will pay a monthly fee to lease printer copiers, toner cartridges and on-site support, with a web-based portal giving an instant overview of usage and expenditure.

The solution is being tried at a UK government department looking to lease 20,000 printers. Samsung said businesses that currently own their printers could cut their costs by 25 to 40 percent by switching to Samclick. Savings will vary according to the number of printers they use and average print volumes.

Similar pay-per-print services are available from rivals Epson, Oki and Xerox.
