Print Management: An Efficient Way to Go Green

go green

What do you think of when you hear the words "go green?" Is it an exhausting challenge, something that requires uncomfortable and inefficient changes? Is it a problem, something that could be expensive and cause more trouble than it fixes? If so, then print management is the solution you need. Print management can help you go green and save money and time in your company--all at once.

How Print Management Helps

Although going green is generally a goal for all parts of a company, the truth is that most environmentally unfriendly part of your workflow is usually your print environment. Unnecessary prints, lost documents that need to be reprinted, and wasted consumables and energy can add up fast--and Mother Nature isn't the only one who suffers; so does your budget. Luckily, print management solves these problems and more, meaning that you get to strengthen your workflow, cut down on waste, and boost efficiency, and it's so easy that you might not even realize you're going green in the process.

Here's how it works:

  1. Print management experts analyze your print environment. You get helpful feedback about everything--how often you print, what printers you use most often, what type of printing habits you have, and how much you're spending.
  2. You review your fleet. Once you have the right information, you can begin by taking a close look at your printers. Do they need to be updated? Do they have too many or too few features? Chances are, you'll find that upgrading is a benefit to both your company and the environment, since new machines use less energy and make efficient use of consumables.
  3. Your workflow is restructured. At this point, you have all the right info and tools. Now, print management can help you make sure that you're printing smarter--using color only when necessary, making use of two-sided prints, recycling print cartridges, and even going digital where you can.
