Environmental Sustainability of Office Equipment & Printing
Today,
environmental sustainability for your organization is more than just "being green" – it leads to lower costs, increased employee productivity and increased profitability.
When it comes to office equipment, let DBS be your guide to both environmental sustainability and profitability.
Office Equipment Energy Efficiency
Energy Star® compliant business copiers, multifunction printers (MFPs) and printers shift to a stand-by state when not in use and can be programmed to turn on, snooze and turn off at certain times of day. This reduces your electricity costs per machine by as much as 60% a year, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Besides cutting energy consumption, green copiers are easy to use, which helps prevent mistakes that cause paper and toner to be wasted. Those copiers and MFPs offering duplexing (two-sided copying) further reduces both energy consumption and reduces your paper usage by half.
Further, DBS will help you choose a copier/MFP with the right capacity for your organization. A copier rated for a higher volume and speed than your daily needs can double your energy use, cautions the EPA.
Although DBS both leases and sells copiers to customers, leasing is often the greener choice for organizations. It relieves you of equipment maintenance and disposal responsibilities and allows us to make equipment upgrades when more environmentally favorable technology becomes available.
Streamline Your Office with MFPs
Time was when offices needed a different machine for each task. While it makes sense to have dedicated equipment, multifunction printers (MFPs) are frequently the smart choice because they consolidate printing, photocopying, scanning and faxing in a single machine.
Replacing four machines with one not only reduces power usage and supply costs but also the lifecycle environmental impact of your equipment: only one machine must be manufactured, packaged, delivered and eventually recycled.
DBS will assist you in determining the ideal combination of MFPs and individual copiers, printers, scanners, and fax machines for your organization.
Managed Print Services Will Slash Your Costs
How many printers do you own or lease? Chances are they were acquired over time, perhaps made by different manufacturers to varying standards of energy efficiency.
As part of our Managed Print Services, we will assess the total cost of ownership of your existing fleet of printers and make recommendations on how you can save money. Recommendations often include consolidating equipment from printers to MFPs and one brand to reduce maintenance costs and taking advantage of print management software, and often cut costs by 30% or more.
