Environmentally Friendly Printing Tips
Here are a few ways you can help the environment and save money on printing:
- OK, this is not really a printing tip but, if you can, try to avoid printing email and documents. They’re safe, right there on your computer. That paper copy will end up in the recycle bin any way.
- If you can, upgrade your equipment. Laser printers for example, are more efficient than ink jet printers and if you can find one with double sided printing, you’ll save on paper.
- Use collaboration tools if you need work on documents with other people. Microsoft SharePoint or Google Apps provide great ways to store, search, and share document with your team.
- Move your shared printers a bit father from your team, if you can. If you make it a little harder, they might just stay at their desk to read.
- Have special recycle cans along with normal trash cans and encourage people to recycle paper products.
- Take that one extra proof read. If you must print, make sure you don’t have to make multiple copies because of mistakes.
