Green Print Website Launched
Thursday 10th November '11
Green print website launched to help the environment and reduce costs .
A new website designed to help firms tackle print management with an emphasis on printing in an environmentally friendly manner has been launched (www.green-print.co.uk). This website contains a host of information on software used to help you create and implement a green print policy that will result in an improvement in good environmental behaviour by lowering your carbon footprint and minimising waste.
Comprehensive print management encompasses a number of elements, including rules-based printing where the administrator can set and create rules to ensure users print along lines defined by the firm. Print management involves a great deal more than simply rules-based printing, it covers the complete processes and procedures associated with a print job, from the moment a document is sent to print, to the completed output. You can make a number of changes to these processes that create efficiency gains making your print policy more effective and consequently greener.
These processes interrupt the print job before it reaches the printer to ensure the print is undertaken in the most environmentally friendly way possible. This can involve reducing the amount of toner used on prints for internal or draft use, routing the print to the most efficient device, defaulting to colour print for certain applications and a number of other innovations that promote green print. Making minor alterations to these print processes can dramatically affect the environmental impact of printing, while making more significant changes will further improve environmental performance.
The website will allow you to investigate ways in which green print can be introduced into your organisation to ensure you have a complete and successful corporate environmental solution. Crucially it acts as an arena in which good practice can be introduced into a firm by utilising the website as a learning tool. Examining how other firms have implemented new software and introduced changes to print processes allows an insight into new ways of working that will result in effective green print.
Altering print processes is key to creating and improving a print procedure that will result in green print throughout a firm. www.green-print.co.uk can help you do this through introducing new processes into print that ensure your staff print along lines that are environmentally friendly, reducing waste and lowering your carbon footprint.
