Green Printing
Although most data is now stored electronically, extensive copying and printing facilities are still paramount to every business. Without proper consideration and implementation, printers and related devices can use a hidden amount of electricity as well as using up raw materials in terms of paper, ink and energy consumption.
Carbon Cutting Business Initiatives
The government have been increasing pressure on businesses over the years to cut carbon emissions and introduce new ‘green’ measures in order to meet carbon reduction targets. Due to this, as well as people’s increased environmental concerns, many companies have looked to maximise the overall efficiency of their business, greatly improving their green credentials and minimising their impact on the environment.
Solid Ink Technology
One of the many ways to improve a company’s environmental profile when it comes to printing, without having to sacrifice quality, is by the use of solid ink technology. During the 10 years that solid ink technology has been around Xerox has been able to reduce the energy consumption of solid ink printers from over 75% by an additional 42%. Not only do these printers save energy and costs, they have a smaller carbon footprint, conserve fewer raw materials and produce 90% less waste than a normal laser printer.
Why not find out more about the advantages of Solid Ink technology?
Another great way to print ‘green’ is by installing GreenPrint Software, which automatically identifies and removes unwanted pages from documents, helping reduce the environmental impact printing has on trees.
Otherwise, why not switch your existing printer to an MFP (Multi Function Printer)? It can save you time, space and money. You won’t need to source electricity for your printer, scanner and copier because one of First Choice’s multifunctional printers can facilitate these functions in one device.
