One of our (Papercut and ecoprintQ) main goals is to get organizations to start printing thoughtfully. What exactly does printing thoughtfully mean? Basically, printing thoughtfully means being aware of how you print and what you print. Instead of printing 100 single sided papers in color, you can print thoughtfully <\/em>by printing 50 double-sided pages in black and white, cutting the amount of paper being used in half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PaperCut allows you to see the environmental impact\ncaused by your printing<\/a> at the MFP. The way they do this is by showing it\nto you with three simple but attention-grabbing statistics. The number of trees\nexpended to make the papers, the CO2 equivalent in greenhouse gases released\nduring paper production, and the energy used by in the manufacturing process\nwhen producing the paper.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing this environmental impact is\nnot only for users who log in to print their materials. Administrators can also\nsee the environmental impact of users, which can lead to stricter printing rules.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are three Helpful Tips when it\ncomes to printing: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Think before you print<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    When you\u2019re about to print something,\ntake a moment to think and really ask yourself if it NEEDS to be printed. Is\nthis something that can be emailed or stored digitally? If it is, try to start\ngetting into the habit of creating digital file folders or use services like\nGoogle Drive or Microsoft SharePoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you have an announcement for the office try emailing it with a captivating subject line so it\u2019s not missed instead of printing out copies for the office that are bound to be trashed anyways<\/g>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Use thinner paper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While most think that you need to use regular printer paper, thin paper works just as well if not better on some occasions, Thinner printer paper means less paper used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Recycle your cartridges and wasted paper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Implement a cartridge recycle system. You\ncan recycle empty cartridges or refill them to reuse them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
