Now, here is how you can save on printing costs.

Invest in a Multifunctional Printer (MFP)

One of the advantages of multifunctional printers is that they are cost saving. Since they cover the function of printer, scanner and copiers, you get three machines in one and only have to worry about the maintenance cost of one machine.

Scan Items Instead of Making Copies

There are many instances during which you can scan documents instead of making copies. Post signs near your office printers encouraging employees to scan more and print less whenever possible. This will cut down on paper and ink usage and in turn cut printer costs.

Use Two Sided Printing

In most cases, two-sided documents are permissible. For this reason, we recommend two-sided printing whenever possible because it is a great way to reduce printer costs by using less paper.

Reduce Font Size & Increase Margin Size

Do the opposite of what you did when writing papers for school! Reducing font size and increasing margin size will allow you to fit more text on one page and greatly decrease the number of pages that you print over time.
