What would it be: a good scoop of the home-made, organic milk, salt-caramel & macadamia nuts ice-cream you love so much, or a batch of 20 full-color pages that didn’t need printing at all?
Despite the rapidly increasing digitization, there are still many people that prefer the feel of good old paper between their fingertips.
Sure, this might be justifiable in the case of belles-lettres and comic books. However, more often than not, lot of employees click the “print” button without giving it a second thought.
You pay for every page
Paper consumption still shows an unpleasantly growing tendency. Not only do the tall piles of unnecessarily printed files indisputably have a negative environmental impact – they can also get quite costly. Your printing expenses can become a quickly growing item on your budget list. But no need to be terrified of turning on your MFP in the morning. We bring you some tips to help with your print cost reduction. They are all based on the essential assumption that every printed page costs money.
It’s easier than you thought
Let’s start at the very beginning – the creation of the to-be-printed document. There are some ways to lower the ink and paper usage already in the desktop/online text editor. You can for example broaden the document margins, so more text can fit in. Or get creative with a printing-friendly font, reduce line spacing, delete unnecessary graphic elements… You can even change the text color from the omnipresent black to a brighter shade to reduce ink consumption. To avoid adjusting your document settings every time, it’s a good idea to make a template, where you can also copy text from various programs or apps, e.g. when you need (or do you, actually?) to print an email.
