Nubeprint will be present at The Recycler Live & Trade Days 2026 in Dortmund.

The sector is undergoing a profound transformation driven by AI and the strategic use of data. What once depended on hardware and consumables now revolves around the ability to capture, analyze, and turn information into profitable decisions. In this context, Antonio Sánchez Navarro, CEO of Nubeprint, will bring a sharp vision to the stage: whoever controls the data controls the margin.

His presentation, “Who Controls the Data, Controls the Margin”, will show how AI enables companies to anticipate demand, optimize processes, and identify opportunities that previously went unnoticed. It is no longer just about printing more, but about doing it in a smarter, more efficient way aligned with real customer needs.

While some companies are already leveraging AI to improve performance and protect profitability, others still see data as merely a technical element. This difference in approach is creating an increasingly wide competitive gap.

The event, taking place from May 20 to 22, 2026 at Messe Dortmund, will bring together experts from across Europe and raise a key question: are companies ready to compete in this new era?

Because the future of printing will not be decided by machines, but by data… and by how AI transforms it into competitive advantage.

This customer saves more than $15,000 a year on print management.

A company with a fleet of 470 printers, which prefers to remain anonymous, managed its consumables by manually checking the emails sent by the devices themselves. What seemed like a minor task concealed a high and constant cost.

Each printer generated alerts that had to be reviewed, classified, and handled manually. On average, technical staff spent 3 minutes per device, every week, on this task. Applying a simple formula, the annual impact was clear:

470 devices × 3 min × 4.33 weeks / 60 × $10 technician hourly cost × 12 months
More than $12,200 per year in administrative time alone!!

But the problem didn’t end there. Emails did not always arrive on time, which led to frequent emergencies:

•Urgent toner shipments (≈ $50 per shipment).

•Unplanned technician visits (1 additional hour per incident).

•End-user downtime, with productivity losses that are hard to justify.

With just 2–3 emergencies per month, these costs easily added up to an additional $3,000 per year, not including operational strain and poor user experience.

The company decided to implement Nubeprint’s real-time monitoring system, eliminating reliance on email notifications. From that moment on:

•Time spent on manual management was drastically reduced.

•Emergencies and express shipments were eliminated.

•Consumables stock was optimized, freeing up tied-up capital.

•Downtime caused by toner shortages was avoided.

The result: annual savings of more than $15,000, smoother operations, and a print service aligned with the efficiency today’s business demands.

The QR code becomes a powerful communication channel between the user, the Dealer, and the Cloud.

In January 2025, Nubeprint introduced QR codes on identification labels for printers, representing a significant step forward in the day-to-day management of devices. Thanks to this functionality, the user standing in front of the printer can access all relevant information about the device with a single click—or rather than with a single scan. Simply using their smartphone is enough to view the Cloud associated with that printer.

From the Cloud, the user can check the status of consumables, see whether a replacement cartridge has already been sent, review open technical incidents, or even open a new one.

In the case of NetLess printers, the QR code further expands its capabilities: it allows users to report the meter reading, request consumables, and ask for technical assistance in a simple and direct way.

The printed label not only includes the QR code but also the Dealer’s name, making it easier to identify all the printers managed by the Dealer at a customer’s site. This detail turns the QR code into an automatic information and support service that provides a clear competitive advantage.

One of the major new features is that all QR labels can now be printed at once. Customers with Zero Intermediate level and above can generate stickers in bulk from the ERP by selecting the devices and the desired format:
PDF, with preconfigured labels.

ZIP, with individual QR codes to customize in their own label-printing system.
This unique market functionality saves time, enhances the end-user experience, and strengthens the Dealer’s image as an innovative provider.

Start printing your QR labels today and offer your customers a more agile, transparent, and efficient service.

You can save up to $10,000 per year in MPS if cartridges are replaced without causing any waste.

Many companies are unaware that a significant part of their printing budget is lost due to a simple end-user habit: replacing cartridges before it is necessary. Every premature change in an MPS environment means ink or toner that is never used but still paid for.

Let us imagine a distributor who spends $100,000 per year on consumables and, due to a lack of control, end customers generate an average waste of 10% on each cartridge. This equates to $10,000 per year thrown away without obtaining any profit.

However, if this same distributor adopted a system that guaranteed the full use of each cartridge, avoiding any type of waste, it could save exactly those $10,000 every year. This saving is entirely recoverable when there is precise and automated consumption management.

This is where Nubeprint stands out—an advanced solution that uses AI to monitor cartridge levels in real time and ensure replacements take place only when appropriate.

Thanks to its predictive system, Nubeprint eliminates premature changes, optimizes the performance of each consumable, and prevents both waste and unexpected printing interruptions. It also provides clear and detailed reports, giving the company full control over its spending.

If your organization wants to stop losing money on consumables and start taking advantage of every drop, now is the time to act. Contact Nubeprint and discover how we can help you eliminate waste and maximize your savings starting today.

MPS evolves with the times.

Managed Print Services (MPS) are evolving quickly to adapt to new work environments and rapid technological change. They no longer focus solely on device management but now contribute to efficiency, security, and digital transformation. Quocirca’s MPS Landscape 2025 study shows that customers expect more complete and automated solutions.

Despite ongoing digitalization, paper remains necessary in many hybrid workflows. As a result, automating printing and scanning is now the top IT priority, followed by reducing print volume and strengthening security.
Sustainability, once a leading priority, has declined in importance in markets such as the U.S. and Germany.

MPS is shifting toward models that integrate document management, data protection, and automation. This requires providers to expand capabilities or partner with specialized companies.

Key findings show that 60% of organizations expect printing to remain critical in 2026, 89% see MPS as essential for digital transformation, and 71% plan to increase investment. However, satisfaction is decreasing, and 42% are considering switching providers.

In this changing landscape, advanced tools based on data and automation become decisive. Nubeprint, with its predictive approach and intelligent management platform, positions itself as a key system driving this evolution of MPS toward a more efficient, automated model aligned with new market needs.

Having a single panel can save you up to $4,800 per year.

Managing a fleet of 500 printers from varied brands can be far more costly than it seems. Each manufacturer sends alerts and reports through different channels, forcing technicians to spend valuable time searching for and consolidating information before they can act. This repetitive process creates inefficiencies that, by the end of the year, result in significant costs.

Let’s look at a realistic example:

-500 printers from varied brands.

-Each technician spends 4 hours per month consolidating data.

-Average hourly cost per technician: $20.

-Team of 5 technicians.

Calculation:

-4 hours × $20 × 12 months = $960 per technician per year.

-$960 × 5 technicians = $4,800 per year spent solely on gathering scattered information.

This invisible cost accumulates without many organizations even noticing it. But with Nubeprint, all that time and effort can be recovered. Its platform allows you to integrate and visualize your entire printer fleet — regardless of brand — in a single centralized panel. From there, technicians can access real-time data on usage, alerts, incidents, and device status within seconds, without having to browse multiple portals or check dozens of emails.

The result: fewer hours on repetitive tasks, higher productivity, and faster, more accurate decisions. Beyond the financial savings, it also improves operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

In short, consolidating all your printer information in a single panel not only simplifies management but can save you up to $4,800 per year.

Did you know…? Automating page billing with Nubeprint can save you up to $12,000 a year.

In Managed Print Services (MPS), manual page billing remains one of the slowest and most expensive tasks. Many companies spend entire workdays collecting meter readings, verifying their accuracy, and generating invoices — a process that consumes critical time and resources, not to mention the human errors that impact profitability and customer satisfaction.

Let’s take as an example a company that manages 500 printing devices. Collecting, checking, and recording data from each device takes between 3 and 6 minutes; assuming an average of 5 minutes per device, that’s 2,500 minutes per month — around 40 hours every month dedicated exclusively to billing. If the average hourly cost of administrative staff is $25/hour, the full formula is:

40 hours/month × $25/hour × 12 months = $12,000/year.

That’s $12,000 spent just on time devoted to billing pages! And that doesn’t even include possible errors, reissues, or time lost reviewing discrepancies.

Nubeprint offers an efficient solution by fully automating this process. Its technology, based on AI and cloud connectivity, automatically collects meter readings, verifies their consistency to prevent unjustified jumps, applies contract-based billing rules, and generates reports without manual intervention. Its universal connection allows the information to be sent directly to your billing system, enabling it to issue error-free invoices with the desired level of detail.

The impact is immediate: fewer hours spent on repetitive tasks, elimination of errors, and improved accuracy, productivity, and control. In addition, administrative teams can focus on higher-value activities, such as customer service or print fleet optimization.

In short, automating billing with Nubeprint not only provides direct savings of up to $12,000 per year, but also represents a significant improvement in operational efficiency.

Printers that stop working due to low toner can cost €12,000 per year.

In the managed printing sector, service continuity is essential. Every time a printer stops working due to low toner, not only is time lost, but hidden costs, unnecessary incidents, and, above all, a deterioration in the customer experience are also generated.

Let’s imagine a distributor who manages a fleet of 800 printers. If, over the course of a month, 40 of them (5%) stop working due to depleted consumables, the economic impact is significant.

Each stoppage involves calls to technical support, order management, possible urgent shipments, and even on-site visits. If we estimate an average cost of €25 per incident (considering staff time, logistics, and lost productivity), the monthly cost amounts to €1,000.

Over the course of a year, that’s €12,000 in avoidable losses. And beyond the economic aspect, there are intangible consequences: interruptions in the customer’s work, wear and tear on the support team, and loss of confidence in the service.

With Nubeprint, this scenario is completely transformed. Its predictive monitoring technology detects toner levels in real time and automates shipping before the stoppage occurs. This way, incidents due to lack of consumables can be reduced by up to 90%.

In our example, instead of 40 printers down per month, there would only be 4. The monthly cost would drop from €1,000 to €100, representing a saving of €900 per month, or €10,800 per year.

In addition to direct savings, the distributor gains efficiency, improves customer satisfaction, and reinforces its image as a reliable and proactive supplier.

The sum of urgent toner orders results in a loss of up to €6,000 per year.

A distributor with a fleet of 500 printers at corporate clients discovered that the total cost of urgent toner orders amounted to an additional €6,000 per year. After activating Nubeprint’s predictive alerts, it reduced urgent orders by 70%, increased its operating margin and improved customer satisfaction.

As a distributor, you know that last-minute orders are inevitable… or so it seemed. Each urgent order costs, on average, 20% more in express shipping, additional management, and logistical disruption. Multiplied by dozens of incidents throughout the year, the impact on your accounts is enormous.
The formula makes it clear:

Annual consumption × % of urgent orders × 20% = Extra cost of urgent orders.

In this real case, annual toner consumption amounted to €200,000. With 15% of orders being urgent, the distributor was losing €6,000 in extra costs alone… money that was quietly disappearing until they decided to try Nubeprint.

Thanks to predictive alerts, cartridges are automatically monitored and warnings are issued before they run out. This allowed him to:

1. Plan shipments and consolidate orders.
2. Eliminate last-minute orders and save 20% in surcharges.
3. Reduce customer calls for incidents.
4. Become a proactive and reliable supplier.

What are the key advantages for the distributor?

1. More profits: fewer hidden costs, higher margins.
2. Satisfied and loyal customers: printers always ready.
3. Efficient operation: optimized and sustainable logistics.
4. Immediate implementation: alerts are activated and automated.

In a market where price is no longer enough to differentiate yourself, offering intelligent and preventive service is the key to building customer loyalty and increasing profitability.

Checking emails from printers without a system costs a fortune.

In many companies, the control of printing consumables still depends on emails generated by the printers themselves. These notifications, far from being a practical solution, represent a source of inefficiency and a considerable hidden expense.

A real-life case study demonstrates this with compelling figures: an organization with 1,400 devices loses more than €60,000 per year in administrative time alone, spent checking emails and manually managing the supply of consumables. The formula is simple, but devastating:

Devices × 3 min × 4.33 weeks / 60 × hourly cost (€17) x 12

Applied to 1,400 devices, the result is a recurring cost that depletes resources without adding value.

The problem is exacerbated because the emails sent by printers are not immediate. They may arrive every two or three days, or even weekly. This means that the information arrives late: the toner may run out before the notification is read, causing downtime. In the worst-case scenario, this translates into poor service, lost productivity, and more hidden costs.

One of these is the need to maintain high stock levels to cover emergencies. As the information is neither accurate nor in real time, the only solution is to store surplus consumables, tying up capital that could be better invested.

Faced with this situation, technology offers smarter alternatives. Nubeprint transforms print fleet management with a system that provides real-time, daily information. This allows companies to accurately anticipate needs, ensuring that consumables arrive when they are really needed.

The advantages are numerous:

• Reduced administrative costs by eliminating manual mail review.

• Optimized stock, avoiding unnecessary accumulation.

• Prevention of downtime by detecting critical levels before they affect service.

• Improved user satisfaction with a continuous flow.

• Sustainability, reducing waste from urgent or oversized purchases.

In short, continuing to rely on printer emails can cost tens of thousands of euros per year. Adopting a solution such as Nubeprint makes printing an agile, cost-effective process that is aligned with the strategic objectives of any organization.
