Many of the things that get printed out in an office are pointless. Unnecessary, boring spreadsheets and pitch proposals go quickly from the printer to the recycling bin. It’s wasteful, both financially and environmentally.
Businesses can save money by encouraging their staff to use printers less often. For example, you might encourage your staff to try things like:
Ink is frightfully expensive. With a domestic printer, people will go to embarrassing lengths to squeeze every last drop from a cartridge. Have you ever:
However, folks tend to be more wasteful at work, when they don’t have to pay directly for their own ink.
For example, at the first ‘low ink’ message on their computer, staff will sometimes load up a new cartridge and throw away the old one—even though there’s precious ink still inside.
To save money, encourage a bit of thrift and make sure all the ink gets used up before a cartridge gets replaced.
Buying a printer can be a big investment. It doesn’t always pay off. Printers can last a long time, and it’s entirely possible that the printer you buy for your business will outlive it’s usefulness.
A better option? Rent a printer. That way, you only have to pay for the printer for as long as you need it. It means there is less chance of wastage. Other benefits include:
Old, broken-down printers can be a real hassle. There’s no task more loathed in the office than having to try and fix a paper jam! Ancient printers are annoying, and they can be a real waste of time (and money) for an office.
There is a better way; upgrade the printers in your office. Printing technology is improving all the time, and newer printers could really improve efficiency in your business. In the last few years, there have been terrific advances like:
It’s unlikely that the printing needs of your office are the same now as they were five years ago.
With ink, as with virtually any product, you save money when you buy in bulk. It costs more money upfront, but in the long run the savings can really add up.
If you buy high capacity cartridge and toner, you’ll have to pay more at the point of sale. However, but over time you’ll reap big benefits.
