At itPrints!, we believe reducing environmental waste is just good business.

Reducing paper use, recycling document-related consumables and strategically acquiring environmentally responsible hardware are some of the recommendations we make to help our clients meet their sustainability initiatives while also decreasing their overall office printing costs.

There are several steps any business can take to decrease their impact on the environment while also driving down expenses associated with printing, including:

• Duplex printing: Printing on both sides of a page instead of a single side can cut your paper costs and usage in half immediately.
• Using private printing: Using private printing features, available on most MFPs and many printers, can decrease the number of abandoned print jobs. Most devices can be programmed so that a user must input a PIN or security code on the keypad of the device in order to begin a print job. Unclaimed or abandoned jobs are simply not printed, saving precious environmental resources money at the same time.
• Scan to email instead of faxing: You need never print a document to be faxed again! Scanned documents can be sent via email. The recipient can view it, archive it, forward it or print it.
• Print only what you need: Check documents and emails before you print them. Eliminate unnecessary pages, reformat to condense onto fewer pages, and duplex print it. This strategy alone can save on overall print costs, and decrease usage of resources.

We are committed to helping our clients to meet or exceed their individual sustainability goals. Through our Total Coverage program, we can help you to reduce waste and the environmental impact that results from wasted paper, toner and other supplies.

A comprehensive physical inventory of your print devices is critical for every business that wants to lower costs, increase efficiencies and reduce repairs and downtime.

To help you manage your fleet, itPrints! will send one of our dedicated staff members to walk through your facility and collect information regarding which departments and individuals are using your print devices and for what kinds of print jobs.

Often, putting print devices on a preventive service program and reorganizing the layout in terms of where each device is located can go a long way toward reaching greater efficiencies.

• Page counts

At itPrints!, we can help you determine not only what kind of printing device you need, but also which printer will work the best for your unique business and help your employees be the most productive—at the lowest total cost of ownership. By working with you to evaluate the answers to these questions, itPrints! can provide printing solutions from manufacturers such as HP that are optimized for your functional needs, volume, and budget.

One of the key considerations when choosing the right printer for the job is the management of those devices on your network. From toner and supply ordering to routine maintenance and repair, sometimes the task of managing your reproduction devices can be daunting. That is why itPrints! offers our clients in the San Diego, California area Managed Print Services.  We can provide you with one, low cost approach to complete printer and multifunction system management.

When choosing a printer for your business, there are a number of things you need to consider:

• What options do I need and are they included?
• What is the reliability record of the printer?
• Can I easily manage and troubleshoot the printer?
• How fast does it take for the printer to produce a first page?
• What is the total cost of ownership?
• What kind of security tools does it offer?
