Phone 1300 873 460. ## Managed print services in Perth, on one agreement with your eastern offices A West Perth head office and branches in Bunbury and Kalgoorlie, 3 printer suppliers and 3 end dates nobody in the east holds. Perth is two hours behind our Queensland desk, which opens at 6.30am Perth time. A Perth printer generally gets a technician within four hours of a logged call. Each Perth address keeps its own plan. The agreement stays national. - Assess Perth and interstate sites one by one - Ask for a quote covering Perth and the east ### Price Perth and the east on one agreement Send every site, west and east, on one list. Perth offices go on the same managed print agreement as your eastern sites, with a Global Document Solutions desk two hours ahead of Perth time. ### Five Perth contracts, or one agreement with the eastern offices A Perth office and the eastern sites come under one MPS agreement, each joining as its own contract ends. Finance starts with a lease register for Perth and the eastern offices. The pillar draws eight end dates on one timeline across fourteen months. The cost page prices eight offices on the three plans, office by office. Finance then sees the example invoice a Perth office appears on. Procurement holds ten answers in writing before a Perth fleet commits. Operations can name what slows Perth and eastern offices in seven taps. Nothing is paid out early, and a Perth branch never waits for the east. Printing costs are read per site, with a report for each Perth address beside the one invoice. Whether one agreement will reduce costs is answered by the site by site cost review, before you commit. ### Who attends a Perth office when a machine stops An authorised dealer or the manufacturer attends a stopped Perth printer, generally within four hours. Our Queensland workshop manages the agreement and support ticket for the printers in scope. Every location knows what it pays and who comes when the machine dies. A Perth office on its own lease can read managed print services versus leasing in Perth. The other end of the map, managed print services in Hobart and across Tasmania, keeps them separate too. How managed print services near each office are reviewed The question behind the question Perth buyers ask whether a supplier three thousand kilometres away will still answer in March. Ask who walks through the door at each address. Get it in writing. Last updated 21 October 2026. ### How Perth operating hours fit the support process Our workshop operates from 8.30am to 7pm Queensland time, or 6.30am to 5pm in Perth. Perth keeps UTC+8 all year, with no daylight saving, according to timeanddate.com. Those operating hours overlap with a standard Perth working day. Darwin keeps a clock of its own, set out on the Darwin page on head office time gaps. A Perth team can log a support request with us during those hours. #### What to confirm for your Perth sites Ask what happens at each address when a printer stops, before choosing anyone. A capital city address is generally attended within four hours, according to Global Document Solutions. A regional town is generally attended the next business day. These are service process statements, not contractual response guarantees. The support process You know the address is covered, and roughly how fast. Once a fault is logged, we administer the support ticket. You ring one number. We find whoever needs to attend. Put your own Perth hours against that window ### Which Perth areas does managed print cover The areas below are examples of Western Australian locations discussed on this page. Send every address for the written scope, including locations not named here. According to the ABS count of Greater Perth, it grew 2.4 per cent in the year to June 2025, faster than any other capital. Some suppliers call this printer management services in Perth. - Perth CBD and West Perth Head offices, professional services and the mining corporate floors. Western Australia - Osborne Park and Balcatta The light industrial belt north of the river. Western Australia - Welshpool, Kewdale, Canning Vale Warehousing and freight, plus trade counters. Western Australia - Joondalup and the northern corridor Branch offices, health, education. Western Australia - Midland and Kalamunda The eastern suburbs, and the hills behind them. Western Australia - Rockingham and Mandurah The southern coastal corridor, down past the Peel. Western Australia - Karratha and the Pilbara Iron ore country, and the addresses that test a coverage claim harder than any capital does. Western Australia - Bunbury, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie The regional offices a Perth head office forgets it owns. Western Australia Send every Western Australian site for a written scope 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 Perth and interstate printing costs are quoted Every printer is judged on where it stands and what it prints, before a figure exists. The assessment starts with every printer you want reviewed, in Perth and beyond it. Each printer’s page counts and colour requirements inform its monthly plan. Toner and parts are included in every plan, as are labour and servicing. A three person Karratha office is not too small to put in the review. Each included address ends up with its own figure and its own response process. An office with multiple devices gets a plan for every one of them. Finance can then budget each Perth device on its own monthly plan. South Australia can present similar timing questions, as explained in how staggered copier contracts are reviewed in Adelaide. The eastern sites may include Melbourne offices, from the CBD to Frankston, which can be reviewed in the same assessment. Why support arrangements need comparison Support arrangements can differ between printers bought at different times. Nobody has to guess who attends which printer. That gives an operations team a single record to review. #### Why toner and page counts belong in the review Existing toner and page count processes can vary from one site to another. The assessment gives us enough to put the right machine in the right office. #### What a multi site written scope records Separate arrangements compared with a Perth led multi site written scope. | | Separate arrangements | Written multi site scope | | --- | --- | --- | | Printer information | Held in separate arrangements | Held on one schedule | | Monthly plan | May differ without a central record | Quoted device by device | | Support process | May differ by location | Recorded for each address | | Toner process | Managed by individual sites | Named in the agreement | | Page count reporting | Separate records | One format by site | Your quote lists a plan and page count for each Perth device. If you would rather ask first, put a question about a WA fleet in writing and a person replies. - Count every Western Australian address, including the single device branches - Add every site you run in the other states to the same list - Request pricing per printer, with Perth and the east coast together Work the rate out against your own page count ### What does a managed print service (MPS) cover for Perth businesses? Managed print hands the office printing of a whole group to one provider. That provider supplies the printer fleet and arranges each printer repair under one ticket. For Perth businesses with interstate offices, every site comes under one managed service. We start by reading the current print environment at each Perth and interstate address. The assessment then matches print solutions to the printing needs of each office. The written scope lists every multifunction device, its expected page volume and its consumables. Standard plans are tailored to your business, then quoted one address at a time. Your point of contact stays our Queensland desk, for sites across Perth and beyond. Fleet management covers the machines, while print management software controls who prints what. A good print workflow sends each job to a working device close to the person. A printer that keeps working protects productivity at every desk around it. Groups from 2 to 4 offices through to national networks are scoped this way. ### Which printer suits each Perth 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 Perth 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 Western Australian buyers ask before they choose #### What does managed print cost for a Perth office? Each Perth office goes on one of 3 standard plans, sized to the pages it prints. The Perth excess page rate is in the quote and is normally the same at every location. See the three plans a Perth office is matched to on the cost page. #### Who manages support for Perth printers? Global Document Solutions keeps the contract and the fault queue. An authorised dealer or the manufacturer attends, whether the address is metro or regional. A capital city address generally sees a technician within 4 hours, and a regional one generally the next business day. #### Do Queensland operating hours overlap with Perth? The workshop operates from 8.30am to 7pm Queensland time, or 6.30am to 5pm in Perth. That overlaps with a standard Perth working day. We record a support request and arrange the on site service route. The written scope identifies the response process for each address. #### Can regional WA printers be included? Bunbury and Geraldton can be listed, as can Kalgoorlie, the Pilbara and any other WA address. Page volume and colour use decide each device’s plan. Any applicable excess page rates are set out by address in the quote. ### List every site, from Perth to the east coast Include every printer and location you want assessed. You receive a written scope with the recommended monthly plan for each address. Operated by Global Document Solutions, an authorised Kyocera partner.
