Top tips for saving paper

April 23, 2018

A new Cartridge World blog offers helpful instruction on how to reduce your business’s paper wastage.

With an average of 50 percent of business waste consisting of paper, there is an increasingly pressing need for companies to cut down on their usage to avoid such high levels of waste. Cartridge World’s blog provides 4 “quick and easy” suggestions which can be implemented straight away to help achieve this goal.

Make the most of print preview

Before you print out any documents, the blog advises using the print preview tool “to evaluate alignment and layout”; this convenient feature allows you to spot any issues and correct them before you hit the Print button, thereby helping to reduce wasted paper on erroneous printouts.

Go double sided

Whenever you can, Cartridge World advocates printing double sided, as this technique “can cut your paper usage in half”.

Print in multiples

Printing multiple pages per sheet is another simple way of saving paper, particularly when combined with double sided printing. The blog explains that printing multiple pages “works well when printing presentation slides, as text documents may turn out too small when using this function.”

Institute an office print policy

Thanks to the widespread use of handheld electronic devices, printing is no longer as necessary as it once was. To help cut down on paper wastage, implement a print policy to decide which documents are absolutely essential to print and which aren’t; this will help manage the frequency of your printing and will curb office paper usage, particularly when used consistently.
