Go Green by Outsourcing Printing
by The modern business has become more and more sensitive to the fact that consumers want to work with firms that care about the environment. While the copy machine isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, the need for color printing devices and specialized printing machines in an office has all but been eliminated by national printing firms. You just don’t need to go through the extra toner, paper, and lease payments when you can have all the work you need delivered the next business day.
Save Money
If you have ever priced a color copier or printer that handles collation and other complicated processes then you know just how expensive these products really can be. Most companies just lease this equipment, plug it in, and it sits 99% of the time. The high cost of color copies, especially copies that are not really even needed, make most practical uses of these copiers, well, impractical.
Outsourcing to a printing firm who can deliver quality products in a timely fashion can save you lots of money by cutting the cost of that expensive lease, as well as saving you the unnecessary electricity and networking costs of an extra copier. Sales sheets, business cards, brochures, and quarterly reports are just a few documents that often require color, but are excellent candidates for outsourcing.
Save Paper
Many companies do most of their business via email these days. By giving employees access to “print to file” programs like PDF reDirect, you can save hundreds or even thousands of sheets of paper per year per employee.
While you think that you might be using the same amount of paper for your own projects as you would if you outsourced your printing, statistics show that if you have access to a color printer you print more than you need. Plus, employees become accustomed to having access to color printing and either print more than necessary or simply do not appreciate when they have color materials.
What most companies find is that they become much more picky about which products they print when they have to outsource, thereby saving paper and toner they might not really need.
Save the World
Well, cutting back on paper waste might not save the world, but it sure can go a long way with helping. Saving money and saving paper are just two benefits of outsourcing your color printing jobs. And don’t forget that when you use an ecologically-friendly printing company, you are doing even to save our planet.
