Is the printer room a place that your company is losing more money than it should be? You might want to take a look at some of these cost-saving tips in the copying room that can help lower expenses and boost the bottom line in your company.

1. Try to ensure that everyone in the company is aware of all the different print settings and abilities. Reducing font sizes, changing margins, making double sided copies and printing selections are all measures than can be taken and employed by your office to cut costs. Printing color pages in black and white is a measure that can be used to cut color ink usage. Color ink is more expensive than black ink.

2. Things like the print preview feature should be used by everyone in the office to look at their documents before they print them to check for glaring errors that can easily be fixed before wasting paper.

3. A laserjet printer may help cut down costs instead of using an inkjet. The laserjet is more cost-effective, printing at 1-3 cents per page, whereas the inkjet can cost 4-12 cents per page. If your company does a lot of printing or copy each day, the savings will add up quickly, even given the higher purchasing cost for a laserjet.

4. Printer-friendly versions on web pages are useful options if you’re looking to print directly from the web, so remind your officemates about that. Less ink is used when printing these versions because they have fewer ink-stealing graphics.

5. When replacing ink for inkjet printers, remember that you can get great discounts online by buying ink refills or ordering from a discount seller like 4inkjets for cheap ink cartridges.

6. Instead of printing a copy of a doument, encourage your office to send electronic copies via email. Utilize tools like flash drives to store files instead of hard copies.

Using these tips in your office will probably see slow results at first, but if everyone works together, the cost savings and overall green effect will have a very positive impact.

I like 4inkjets.com. They always have good deals on cheap ink cartridges.
