Let’s face it—printer supplies can add up quickly. Whether you’re managing an office, warehouse, school, or manufacturing plant, keeping costs in check without compromising print quality is a balancing act. The good news? You don’t have to cut corners to cut costs.

 

At BBCS, we help businesses of all sizes make smarter decisions about their printer supplies. Here are five tried-and-true ways to reduce your spend—without putting productivity or print quality at risk.

        1. Do you know how much toner or label stock you actually go through in a month? Monitoring your usage and setting smart reorder points can help reduce last-minute rush orders and avoid overstocking.
          1. Buy in Bulk
            One of the simplest ways to save is by purchasing toner, ink, maintenance kits, labels, and ribbons in larger quantities.
            Why it works: Bulk pricing often comes with significant discounts, and it helps avoid last-minute emergency orders.
            Pro Tip: BBCS offers custom bulk quotes—just reach out, and we’ll build a package that fits your usage and budget.
          2. Use Compatible Supplies (When It Makes Sense)
            While OEM (original equipment manufacturer) supplies are always a safe bet, high-quality compatible toner and ink can offer big savings without sacrificing reliability—especially for non-critical print jobs.
            Pro Tip: BBCS offers tested, premium compatible supplies that we stand behind—so you don’t have to gamble on low-quality alternatives from random online sellers.
          3. Match Supplies to Your Actual Needs
            Overbuying or using the wrong type of label, ribbon, or toner can cost you more than necessary. For example:Thermal transfer ribbons that are too high-grade for your label type Industrial labels for basic shipping needs Overly complex printers for low-volume environments Pro Tip: We’ll help you analyze your usage and recommend the right products for your actual applications—no upselling, just smart solutions.
          4. Maintain Your Equipment
            A well-maintained printer uses supplies more efficiently. Dirty printheads, worn rollers, or outdated firmware can cause waste, smudges, and reprints—burning through your supplies faster than needed.
            Pro Tip: Ask us about maintenance kits and printer service options to keep your fleet running smoothly.
          5. Track Usage and Set Reorder Thresholds
            Pro Tip: BBCS can help you build a reorder schedule or supply management plan tailored to your business.
