What Data Source does

Print Image Solutions is a privately held managed print services (MPS) provider founded in 2012 and headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, with additional offices in Lincoln (Nebraska), Springfield (Missouri), and Kansas City. The company serves over 1,500 clients nationwide across six verticals — primarily healthcare, banking/finance, education, and manufacturing, with real estate and legal as secondary segments — and positions itself around an exclusive focus on print and office technology rather than the broader office products approach of generalist competitors.

The core offering is a tiered Managed Print Services platform. The Silver package covers toner and consumables with up to 30% cost savings, while the Platinum package provides all-inclusive coverage including on-site repairs, an 8-hour response commitment, and up to 50% total cost savings. The wider product portfolio spans new and certified-refurbished office printers and copiers, large format printers, thermal label and barcode printers, document scanners, Papercut-based print management software, and print supplies, plus complementary categories including office headsets (Jabra, Poly) and public safety communications equipment (PSEC Poly). Service infrastructure covers certified multi-brand technician repair, flexible short- and long-term rental/leasing, and automated toner replenishment.

Revenue mechanics blend recurring MPS subscriptions, one-time equipment sales, recurring rentals, professional repair services, and consumables reorders via an online storefront. Distribution occurs through direct sales offices in four Midwest cities with nationwide service coverage, supported by manufacturer partnerships with HP, Xerox, Lexmark, Zebra, Ricoh, Toshiba, and Epson. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with savings claims anchored to customer assessments rather than published rate cards.
