Managed print services can reduce paper and toner usage anywhere from 15% – 30% in hard costs. These tips can help you save even more.
Research shows that organizations spend anywhere from 1 to 6 percent of their annual revenues on office copying and printing. Even if your organization falls at the low end of the range, that’s a lot of paper and most likely a lot of waste. If you really want to cut into that expense, you have to print less, and Office Essentials’ managed print program is the only one out there dedicated to helping you do just that. In the meantime (or in addition), these 15 tips to end wasteful printing can help you save even more.
Did you know that the average worker prints 13,000 pages per year, with one in seven pages never being used? Now more than ever, companies need to educate employees on ways to end wasteful printing.
