From the consumables you buy to the habits of your staff, small adjustments add up fast. Here are ten practical ways to reduce what you spend on printing.
Choose the right machine for your volume
Running a high-volume office on a desktop printer is expensive. Match your equipment to your actual monthly volume, whether that is a Bizhub multifunction or a Riso duplicator for long runs.
Buy consumables smartly
High-quality compatible cartridges and genuine drums at the right price make a big difference. Avoid ultra-cheap no-name cartridges that leak or fail early.
- Set default duplex printing
- Use draft mode for internal documents
- Print in black and white where possible
- Monitor usage per department
Maintain your equipment
Regular cleaning and timely replacement of fuser units, drums and rollers keeps your machine efficient and prevents costly breakdowns.
