Reduce paper waste
Recent studies have shown that the average office worker prints 10,000 pages of documents per year, and that six printed pages are wasted each day through erroneously printed files, unnecessary cover pages and other misprints. That adds up to 1,410 wasted pages per year. Even when using the cheapest recycled paper, that’s nearly three reams of paper, or about $21. For a growing business that employs many workers, the cost of wasted paper is significant. Saving paper is one of the most notable characteristics of workplaces that are choosing to go green in their office.
Reduce toner consumption and your environmental footprint
All that wasted paper also translates into wasted toner and ink. A printer management and maintenance plan to monitor toner and ink usage, as well as recycle old cartridges provides significant savings, and reduces your organization’s effect on the earth as well as reflecting the trend of going green through print management.
CTA Save money on energy costs Studies show that office equipment can account for 40% of the total electricity costs of an office building. One way to achieve the goal of a green office is a printer management program that outlines procedures for managing networked printers on a daily basis, saving you an average of 31% of that electricity cost, which translates into less replacement needs.
Save Time
In many businesses, an overburdened IT staff is charged with overseeing all aspects of printer management, including diagnosing printer problems, monitoring and ordering supplies and equipment purchase decisions. Few managers and business owners need to be told that these tasks are not an efficient use of their time. Using each employee’s time efficiently not only saves money but also increases productivity for your office. As the common phrase goes, time is money and when you are wasting one, you’re wasting the other.
