Reduce your print costs without the need to ‘go paperless’
Is it realistic for us to expect offices to ever be completely devoid of paper? The answer to that question is, possibly not. There is, after all, something so tactile and permanent about paper, and when you have something essential to note down or a major contract to sign, it is printer paper that so often comes to the rescue. That is not to suggest, however, that you cannot reduce your printing costs with a little help from Office1web (http://www.office1web.ie).
First of all, why not create a ‘printing policy’ for your whole office? There is such a thing as printer activity monitoring software, which allows you to keep track of employees and enforce a rule that they must only print critical documents. In the event that you catch them wasting your expensive printer ink on long personal documents or even eBooks that have nothing to do with the company, appropriate disciplinary action can be taken. If they are guilty of such things, remind them that it is essentially theft.
This is a sound strategy for using less of everything, from ink cartridges to paper. Certainly, as far as paper is concerned, many companies don’t even consider something as simple as printing on both sides of the paper. When you have less important internal documents to print, consider using the cheapest printer paper that you can find.
As for the ink, have you considered switching to a company font, such as Century Gothic, that is thinner than the Ariel that is many firms’ default? It might sound odd, but this ink conservation strategy could save you around 10% in printing costs and is a strategy that has been used successfully by the likes of the FBI, NASA and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay – the latter reporting savings of $10,000 a year.
Finally, you’ll find no shortage of remanufactured ink cartridges on the Office1web website, and that’s for a very good reason. These days in particular, remanufactured cartridges give nothing away in quality to the new brand name alternatives, with the drums being replaced and even the blister packaging tending to consist largely of recycled plastic. Much the same often applies to the outer packaging, with both the plastic and card used being fully recyclable.
Even better, though, is that many of these cartridges have been used even by artists and graphic designers, without a single complaint. Plus, with discounts for toner on http://www.office1web.ie often exceeding 50%, and with no shortage of savings on offer for other printing essentials, you won’t need to look to any other online store to make the most of your print budget.
