5 Tips To Cut Copier Costs

My Top 5 Tips To Cut Copier Costs

 

Almost every business needs to print, but are usually laser focused on their printer or photocopier / MFP lease, rental, or the device purchase price if they chose that route. However, there are a few simple steps you can take, even if you are in the middle of a lease or have recently purchased a device and don’t want to have to change it. So, here are My Top 5 Tips To Cut Copier Costs.

 

5 Tips To Cut Copier Costs:

 

1. Duplex Printing: Always use double-sided printing – this sounds simple but, in our experience, very few businesses use duplex printing as standard. Duplex can save you up to 50% on your paper costs.
   .
2. Print in Mono: Set your copier to print mono (black & white) by default. How many emails and memos actually need printing out in colour, even if the original contained colour? Letters printed on your company letterhead can also be printed in mono as the colour in your logo is usually already printed on your stationery. Users often don’t realise that printing mono is up to 10 times cheaper than printing in colour and can save £1,000s each year for even small businesses.
   .
3. Skip Blanks: Set you device to skip blank pages. Yes, every copier company charges a click each time a sheet passes through the machine, even if no ink is used
   .
4. Don’t Print It: Memos and notes can be sent as emails. Even presentation handouts and reports can be turned into PDFs and emailed to all those who need a copy. This not only saves on your copy cost, it saves on paper and energy too, reducing costs further and making your business more sustainable.
   .
5. Horses for Courses: Use the right printer for each job. Many smaller devices have higher copy costs. If you regularly run large jobs, it is usually more cost effective to use a high volume device designed to run at a lower copy cost.

 

However, if you are at a point where you are starting to think about your next printer or copier, consider switching to a Heat-Free device that can save you up to 83% on the energy used and so reduce your electricity bills..

 

Printers and photocopiers or MFPs account for around 10% of the energy used in the typical office, so an 83% saving in energy can equate to around an 8% saving on your electricity bills.

 

XBM works with Epson to provide Single Function Printers and Multifunction Printers (MFPs) using their unique Heat-Free business print technology. They do not use heat to fuse toner to the paper or to dry the pages, meaning they begin printing far faster than laser printers (no waiting for the machine to warm-up) and cost a lot less to run.
