Reduce your print costs

Companies spend one to three per cent of revenues on printing every year, according to Gartner. HP offers the following advice to cut print costs:

• scan documents and digitally send them to e-mail or network folders,
• print on both sides,
• reduce text size,
• use colour only when necessary,
• and monitor what gets printed by employees,

as mismanagement of printing results in excessive operating costs and diminished productivity.
