Hardware expenditures are just a portion of total cost. While HP prices all color products competitively, our main focus is delivering value through increased productivity and reduced total cost of ownership. To make printing with color even more affordable, HP provides total print management strategies as well as services such as Pay per use Services and outsourcing your entire color-printing infrastructure from acquisition and support to maintenance.
And we offer an HP trade-in program to cost-effectively retire obsolete products for cash back toward new product purchases.
Consumables
Consumables such as toner, ink and maintenance kits require time-consuming user interactions. HP technology lets you lower your consumable costs by:
•
Offering our highest yield consumables standard with each new HP printer. And with HP, you order the same high-yield cartridge every time it needs replaced.
Delivering products with user-replaceable parts and fewer consumables than most competing products (see table).
•
Creating color technology with easy access points and user replaceable consumables - no special tools required.

Support
Support requirements can have a considerable impact on print-related expenses. You'll lower your color printing costs because HP color products don't require service technicians to perform regular maintenance or change consumables. Users can do it all, which saves time and money.
