Paper and ink cartridges cost money, and the more you use
your printers, the more quickly they'll wear out and require replacement.
Printers also use power. With the rising cost of energy, you can save money on
electricity bills by cutting down on the amount of material you print.
Consider how you can convert your workflow to an electronic one by eliminating
unnecessary hard copies wherever possible. If you print and send a monthly
newsletter to your clients, for example, consider instead sending it via
e-mail or posting it on your Web site. Advertise your products and services on
your Web site instead of printing flyers. Send internal memos electronically
rather than distributing printed copies. Read documents and e-mail messages on
the computer screen instead of printing them out.
