Cut the waste and the carbon together
Well-managed print is greener print. Fewer devices, deliberate printing and secure release reduce energy, paper and waste, and where it fits we supply recycled, refurbished second-user devices rather than new.
- Fewer, more energy-efficient devices
- Secure release stops uncollected prints going in the bin
- Duplex and mono defaults cut paper and toner
- Recycled and refurbished second-user devices where they fit the need
- Toner bottle recycling for our clients, and WEEE-compliant recycling of retired devices
- LessEnergy, through fleet consolidation and efficient Canon devices
- ZeroUncollected prints left in trays with secure release
- Second lifeRefurbished devices and toner bottle recycling built into the service

Printers are computers on your network. We treat them that way.
Print security is a process we run, not a feature we mention. The same ISO 27001 discipline that governs our IT services covers every device we install, from first configuration to final disposal.
Secure release, cloud or on-premise
uniFLOW holds every job until the user authenticates at the device, by card, PIN or mobile app. Run it on-premise for full in-house control, or in the cloud with uniFLOW Online, winner of the BLI PICK award for cloud output management eight years running to 2026.
Hardened devices
Every device is configured to a documented security baseline: hard drive encryption and overwrite, unused ports and protocols disabled, administrator access controlled, and firmware kept current through our patching schedule.
Controlled from install to disposal
Devices join your network under change control, print and scan activity is logged by user, device and time, and at end of life storage is wiped or destroyed before the device leaves your building, with certification on request.
How we keep hundreds of devices running
Managed print lives or dies on service. Ours is delivered by our own people, not subcontractors, with the infrastructure behind them to fix things fast.
Remote fleet monitoring
Every device reports meters, alerts and consumable levels automatically, so toner arrives before you run out and faults are often logged before you notice them.
Highly skilled, experienced engineers
Our engineers are employed by us, not subcontracted, with years of experience on Canon fleets on top of their manufacturer training. Backed by agreed SLAs, they attend your sites when remote resolution is not enough.
Reviews & reporting
Clear usage and budget reporting with regular reviews, so the fleet keeps shrinking to fit how your business actually prints.
Managed print, your questions answered
What are managed print services (MPS)?
Managed print services hand the running of your print environment to a single provider. We supply and maintain the devices, monitor consumables, automate toner replenishment and report on usage, so printing is reliable, secure and predictable to budget for.
Are you a Canon partner?
Yes. Alternative Managed Services is a Canon Platinum Partner, the highest partner tier, giving you access to Canon’s most capable office and production devices along with expert support and competitive pricing.
How can managed print improve document security?
Unsecured printers are a real risk. We deploy secure print release with uniFLOW, so documents are only released when the user authenticates at the device, preventing confidential prints being left in trays and giving you a full audit trail.
Can you help us reduce printing and go more digital?
Absolutely. Beyond optimising devices, we digitise and automate document workflows, scanning, routing and storing documents, so you print less, find information faster and reduce manual handling.
What results can we expect from managed print services?
Clients typically print less and waste less under a managed fleet. Right-sizing the estate, automatic toner supply, fewer breakdowns, secure release printing that stops uncollected pages, and clear reporting all add up to a print environment that is reliable, deliberate and easy to budget for.
Can you take over our existing printers?
In many cases yes. We assess your current devices during a free print audit and will tell you honestly what is worth keeping and what is holding you back, then build a plan around the right mix for your needs.
What is a print audit?
A print audit measures your devices, print volumes and usage patterns across the business, including consumables, maintenance and energy. It shows exactly where waste, risk and inefficiency sit before you change anything, and ours is free and no-obligation.
Do you support production print and in-house print rooms?
Yes. Alongside office fleets we supply and support Canon production print, including imagePRESS and varioPRINT devices, for in-house print rooms, central reprographics departments and publishers. Our highly skilled, experienced and manufacturer-trained engineers keep production environments running.
How does managed print reduce our environmental impact?
Consolidating to fewer, more efficient devices cuts energy use, secure release printing eliminates wasted uncollected pages, and duplex and mono defaults reduce paper and toner. We also offer recycled, refurbished second-user devices and run a toner bottle recycling process for clients, so the waste from printing is dealt with as part of the service.
