Follow these guidelines and you will notice a great difference in how much it costs to operate your printer each month.
Does your office have a printer in it? If you said yes then you are among the many other companies who make use of the printer! We 100% encourage the use of the printer because we know how important printed documents can be. But there are some documents that are printed that have no importance whatsoever.
These documents are costing you money. So we want to give you some advice on cutting back on printing so that you can save ink, paper and lower costs.
Follow these guidelines and you will notice a big difference in how much it costs to operate your printer each month.
- Use double-sided printing! Every time, no matter what.
- Use smaller print! It’s surprising how much paper you can save by shrinking your normal words down to size 11 and your headers to size 16.
- Format documents differently. I know everyone loves double-spaced docs because they’re easier on the eyes but they’re heavier on the wallet. Also, change your margin settings so the document is spread out across more paper rather than having all of the white space on the edges.
- Allow minor hand written corrections to in house documents. Sometimes a report is printed and you notice a few missing commas. Instead of printing the report out all over again allow people to make small corrections with a pen or pencil as long as clients don’t see the material it shouldn’t matter.
- Print only what you need! Make sure employees are checking the pages box on the printer settings and only select the pages that have content they need.
- Reduce printing by sending everything through email including invoices and receipts.
- Recycle!
