Implement the Latest Green Printing Tips Into Your Small Business

While large businesses are taking every step possible to reduce printing by a small fraction, small businesses are having a much easier time making the switch to green printing techniques.

Small businesses can implement any of the following green printing tips and notice a significant reduction in the amount of paper and supplies they go through annually.

Multifunction devices are becoming increasingly affordable and allow users to be energy efficient while increasing productivity.
