Being green is a very large social conscience incentive, and it has hit the printing world recently. Your company probably has a bunch of paperwork; records, marketing materials, and even just printed copies of corporate presentations are going to be floating around your office. There are some things that can be done to reduce the impact to the environment and the cost of printing in your office.
Print Less
This is probably the most obvious way to reduce your printing footprint. You can do this by providing less hardcopies of materials. Things such as presentations can be kept to softcopy only in most cases. If your company prefers hardcopies, print them double sided, or with more than one slide per sheet. This can cut your printing in half, greatly reducing your costs and impact to the environment. You can also add reduced printing to your corporate agenda, ensuring your staff know that reducing printing is something the company is seriously committed to.
Use Remanufactured Toner Cartridges
Recycling is a great way to reduce environmental footprints. It reduces the energy required to produce the recycled product, uses less resources, and is going to be less expensive. Discount inkjet cartridges, refills, or remanufactured cartridges are going to save you money, and keep the planet green. You can also look into more environmentally friendly ink, although that may be cost prohibitive.
Use Less Ink
Ink is expensive, and its production can be damaging to the environment. It is possible for your company to continue to print like they do, but just change a couple of habits to save ink. The largest ink hogs are images, and documents with header images are going to take large amounts of ink for every sheet printed. Keeping header images to just the first page of a document is going to greatly reduce your ink consumption. This both saves your company money, and keeps the world green.
