Reduce Printing Related Costs

Have you ever analyzed how much money your company spends on printing?

Many people don’t realize that the average employee uses 10,000 sheets of paper every year and your company is spending 1-3% of your revenue on printing and copying. There are ways to cut back on costs associated with printing. Here are a few ways you can make this happen:

  1. Print on both sides of the paper!
  2. Use smaller text and less text!
  3. Reduce white space on documents by decreasing the margins and using single-space.
  4. Allow minor hand written corrections to in house documents.
  5. Print only what is needed!
  6. No printing personal documents on the office printer!
  7. Send invoices, proposals and receipts through email.
  8. Don’t use colored ink unless it’s absolutely necessary!
  9. Recycle!

Make these changes in your office and the environment and your wallet will thank you.
