Dell’s governing principles do not imply a “one size fits all” approach. Dell’s assessment driven implementation seeks to match the right device to the right work tasks. However, there is always room to be greener while printing. Follow these suggestions and watch the waste drop.
Duplex – The fastest and easiest way to reduce printing Costs would be to Duplex print, use both sides of the paper. When printing documents that you need to read or review on paper, use both sides of the paper. Just remember to number the pages as to not get them out of order. Better yet, reduce to have two sides on one side. The text is small, but readable.
High yield Toner Cartridges – Every time a cartridge is ordered, there is waste generated. Using the highest yielding toner for your Printer Model will reduce that waste. It may be more of an expense up front, but not generating the waste associated with the extra cartridge packaging will be worth it.
Defined Print requirements – This idea is to set up parameters on the printing network that force certain action for certain types of documents. For example, emails can only be printed in draft and duplex. Only people that need to print in Color are allowed to have that privilege. Color printing is generally 8 X more expensive than black and white.
Don’t Print – The least expensive printed page is the page not printed. Go over processes and remove the act of printing from those processes.
Dell’s approach is grounded in an output strategy designed to minimize print costs and improve print related processes. Our assessments, optimization and implementation architecture drive deep understanding of AIG’s business output needs, processes and improvement opportunities. The result is a comprehensive implementation framework optimized for end user needs and cost efficiency.
