Quick Tips to Save on Printing

Print Management programs allow for offices to discover their print environment and make the correct steps towards a more printing-conscious office. While a full-blown print management program will allow you to reduce printing on a massive scale, there are simple switches that you can make to reduce printing in your office. Simple printing strategies to save include:

  • Duplex Printing: Duplex printing is a common feature on printers today. This allows you to print on both sides of the paper, reducing paper consumption by up to 30% on average.
  • Eliminate Banner Pages: Cutting out the pages before and after emails and webpages will help reduce paper consumption by approximately 15%. Utilize print preview to cut out any excess you don’t need.
  • Think Before Printing: Just under 50% of printing is unnecessary, and ends up in the recycle bin before the day is over. Simply taking those few extra seconds to determine if a print job is necessary can significantly reduce the amount you print.
