Only pay for the colour you use

Harness the potential of Kyocera’s unique Intelligent Billing system – only pay for the colour you use and benefit from lower colour print costs throughout your business.

Intelligent Billing is available across the entire TASKalfa range and selected printers. Easily activated by a qualified engineer, Intelligent Billing gives you an accurate cost-per-copy price, often resulting in a lower overall total cost of ownership. It also provides transparent and easy-to understand information about the printing needs of your business - putting you firmly in control of your costs.

Kyocera Intelligent Billing uses a metered three tier billing system based on the amount of colour on each page you print. This is different to most standard cost-per-copy plans, which charge one fixed rate for black and white copies, and another set rate for colour copies - meaning you pay the same whether you print a small colour logo or a page of full-colour photographs.

It couldn’t be simpler – Intelligent Billing saves you money by only paying for the colour you use!*

How is Kyocera’s Intelligent Billing different?

Intelligent Billing separates colour use into three individually priced tiers – Low, Medium and High. As the majority ofbusiness printing falls into the Low or Medium colour coverage categories, this allows you to take advantage oflower costs for the coverage you use most.

Your Kyocera business partner will work with you to set each pricing band to fit your business’s individual usage profile.

Comprehensive, transparent, accurate and reliable – Intelligent Billing keeps you informed.

How does it work?

Each print image is made up of thousands of tiny dots of toner. Three meters (one for each colour cartridge) inside your printing device, automatically count the exact number of colour dots used on each printed page, while a fourth meter measures the amount of black toner used on black and white pages. Colour coverage is calculated per page and then billed at the most appropriate cost for your business (rather than the 5 to 6% coverage cost industry standard).

Improve your business performance

Intelligent Billing provides you with the tools you need to manage your business more effectively. The individual meters in each of your print devices show the exact locations of your printing costs, allowing you to budget, forecast and trim costs accordingly. Reduced toner usage cuts down on waste, helping you to meet your sustainability objectives.

Usage can be monitored remotely via the KM-Netviewer ‘Command Centre’ or through the device status page, ensuring you stay in control.

Use Intelligent Billing to make informed decisions and reduce print costs throughout your business.

*Kyocera recommends that the Low Tier is set to a minimum of 2% coverage and charged at the Low Tier level.
