## Managed print services on the Gold Coast, from Southport to the Tweed

The border at Tweed Heads need not split your Gold Coast offices across 2 contracts.

Each Gold Coast printer carries toner and repairs in its monthly plan.

Leave Tweed Heads off the list and it keeps its own contract and invoice.

### Price the coast and Tweed Heads together

Both sides of the border on one written scope.

Gold Coast and Tweed Heads offices can share one managed print agreement and one invoice across the border.

### Gold Coast printers, assessed from Southport to Coolangatta

#### How is each Gold Coast printer assessed?

Each printer is assessed for its location, page counts and monthly plan.

Our Queensland workshop coordinates the support ticket and arranges on site work through an authorised dealer or manufacturer.

Written for organisations running five or more offices.

Colour printing and mono printing are counted apart at every office.

If each coast office has its own lease, see the leasing comparison for Gold Coast branches.

Managed print puts the machines, the toner and the repairs on one bill.

Gold Coast groups can start with a one minute check of their print problems.

What that means at each address
A hinterland office is scoped on its own printing.

If your fleet also reaches Sydney managed print services or Melbourne managed print services, those sites can be included in the assessment.

How a Hobart address is assessed for managed print is set out in full.

A Tweed Heads office can join the same written scope as the coast, according to Global Document Solutions.

Until then, that office keeps printing on its current contract.

### Which Gold Coast locations can managed print solutions cover

Every Gold Coast address can be included, from Southport to Coolangatta and over the border in Tweed Heads.

The locations below are examples, not a limit on available service.

From the first Sunday in October, Tweed Heads runs an hour ahead of Coolangatta, according to timeanddate.com.

The Gold Coast itself stays on UTC+10 all year, with no clock change, according to the same source.

#### Which coastal areas does this page name?

- Southport and Bundall The commercial core. Professional services, and the addresses most likely to be a head office instead of a branch. Queensland
- Helensvale and Coomera The northern end, up the M1 towards Brisbane and its managed print services . Office printers here join the same written scope as Southport. Queensland
- Robina and Varsity Lakes Offices, health, education. Colour printing and scan to file workflows are reviewed before the printer plan is recommended. Queensland
- Burleigh, Palm Beach and Coolangatta Smaller offices can still need a printer assessment when they are part of a wider organisation. Queensland
- The hinterland Nerang, Mudgeeraba, plus the ranges behind them. Queensland
- Just over the border Tweed Heads is in New South Wales and can be included in the assessment with Gold Coast offices. That address gets a figure and an answer on who attends it. Where the border matters least and the release rule matters most is managed print in Canberra, release rule first . New South Wales

#### How do you start a coastal printer review?

- List every coastal address and printer that needs review
- Add interstate offices that should be considered in the same assessment
- Ask for a written scope with the monthly plan and page allowance for each printer

A state border runs through this area, so confirm the support process for every listed address before you commit.

From $160 + GST a month per printer.

Standard plans, tailored to your fleet. Excess page rates are stated in your quote and are normally the same at every location.

Paper, staples and pages above your agreed volume sit outside that figure.

### How a Gold Coast and Tweed Heads printer scope is prepared

Border locations are assessed individually, then recorded in the written scope if they are included.

#### Start with every address and printer

We review each printer’s page counts, colour requirements and support needs.

Each printer carries a monthly figure and the pages it buys.

Printing volumes from the last 12 months set each plan.

The print setup at each office is written down before any printer moves.

A single point of contact then handles printing faults at every coastal office.

Send every address on the coast and every address beyond it, then request a written managed print quote for a coastal fleet.

The Perth page explains how a fleet run from Perth is assessed.

#### Why small sites should be part of the review

A small branch may have a separate printer, toner process and support arrangement.

That can make the organisation’s printer records incomplete.

Including each site creates a clearer management view.

Printing at a small branch still costs money when nobody counts it.

Its print costs then show on a line of their own.

Separate printer arrangements compared with a written multi site scope.

| | Four separate arrangements | One agreement |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Printer information | Held in separate arrangements | Recorded in one written scope |
| Monthly plan | May vary without a central record | Shown for each printer in the quote |
| Toner process | Managed locally | Set out in the scope |
| Support ticket | May differ by site | Managed through us |
| Page count reporting | Separate records | One format by site |

Two pages to read first
Before you commit to anybody, read the five managed print contract terms that decide the cost.

What one leased printer costs a month on each plan

### When should a Gold Coast business consider MPS for its printing?

Businesses on the Gold Coast should consider MPS once printing runs across several offices.

Groups of 2 to 4 offices are the smallest we price.

Printing at a Southport head office and a Robina medical centre rarely matches.

Each office's print needs decide its printer, and the standard plans are tailored to suit.

A copier bought years ago at a branch often carries its own toner deal.

Printing paper stays a consumable each coastal office buys for itself.

Lost printing time at a branch is lost productivity, so faults are logged with us.

Print management software decides who may print and where, apart from the printer itself.

Whether one agreement can reduce costs depends on each office's printing, never on a promise.

Offices beyond the coast are serviced across Australia on the same agreement.

### Which printer suits each Gold Coast office?

Each office gets a printer sized to its own work, on one of 3 plans.

What decides the printer at each office

| What decides it | What to tell us |
| --- | --- |
| Pages a month | Black and colour pages from the counter on the printer there now |
| Colour | Whether staff print colour at all |
| Paper size | A4 only, or A3 for plans and drawings |
| Scanning | How much the office scans, and where scans go |
| People sharing it | How many staff send work to one printer |

Pages each plan includes a month

| Plan | Pages included |
| --- | --- |
| Starter | 2,000 mono pages |
| Professional | 2,000 mono and 200 colour pages |
| Enterprise | 5,000 mono and 500 colour pages |

Pages past a plan carry the excess page rate set out in the quote.

### What every Gold Coast office gets under one agreement

Three parts of the agreement, written once for every site in the group.

Each month

Toner, parts and labour come in all 3 plans.

Servicing is included as well.

GDS watches toner levels and sends an update when one runs low.

One invoice covers the group, with a report for each site.

Excess page rates are in the quote and normally match at every location.

When sites move

Each site's costs are reviewed before you commit.

Sites move one at a time, often over months.

A new office can join the agreement later.

The monthly figure changes when it joins.

Printers the business owns now cannot join, so the agreement supplies each site's printers.

Data and print security

Card or code release on PaperCut is an optional extra.

Printing without a print server, including for Microsoft 365, is optional too.

The quote states the cost of either.

Wiping a printer's stored data at the end of term is a paid option.

### What coastal buyers ask about printing across a smaller fleet

#### What does managed print cost for a Gold Coast office?

Each Gold Coast office goes on one of 3 standard plans, sized to the pages it prints.

The Gold Coast excess page rate is in the quote and is normally the same at every location.

See the three plans a Gold Coast office is matched to on the cost page.

#### Who manages support for Gold Coast printers?

An authorised dealer or the manufacturer attends the address itself.

Global Document Solutions holds the agreement and the support queue from Bethania.

One queue covers the coast, the hinterland and a Tweed Heads address across the border.

Capital city visits are generally within four hours, and regional towns generally the next business day.

#### Can a Tweed Heads office be included with Gold Coast sites?

Tweed Heads is in New South Wales and can be included in the same assessment as Gold Coast offices.

Each address is reviewed for its printer requirements and support process.

The written scope records the relevant locations before you commit.

The quote states the monthly plan and any applicable excess page rates for each printer.

#### Is a smaller Gold Coast organisation suitable for managed print?

Global Document Solutions designed this service for organisations with five or more offices.

A smaller organisation may need a different arrangement, depending on its printer estate and support needs.

The assessment starts with every address and printer you want reviewed.

The written quote explains the recommended plan for each included printer.

### Southport to Tweed Heads, one scope

Add the hinterland branches by email.

### List every address, both sides of the border

You receive a written scope with recommended printers and monthly plans for each address.
