The first of October always feels like a milestone. Summer is behind us, Q4 has officially begun, and suddenly the end of the year is in sight. For many businesses, this is the moment when budgets tighten, renewals pile up, and planning for next year gets real. One area that often slips under the radar until it’s too late? Print contracts.

These agreements, whether for office copiers, managed print services, or bulk printing, tend to be multi-year commitments with automatic renewals built in. If you don’t review them now, you might find yourself locked into another year (or more) at terms that no longer serve your needs.

October is the sweet spot! You’ve still got enough time to review your print usage, compare supplier options, and negotiate better rates before the holidays arrive and decision-makers become harder to pin down.

So as you flip the calendar to October 1st, take it as your reminder… don’t wait until December! Review your print contracts now, so you can head into the new year with confidence, flexibility, and savings.
