Reduce your print costs   |  November 24, 2009  

By Peter Wolchak

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.
