Save Ink and Paper - Green Living Tip Brought to you by Ideal Bite
What's a draft no one should dodge?The Bite
The one on your printer. Unless you're printing something superimportant, save ink and paper by using Draft Mode and, if you can, printing double-sided. Who could conscientiously object to that?
The Benefits
- Enlisting less waste. Each year, the world's discarded cartridges, stacked end-to-end, could circle the planet three times.
- Pacifying your budget. No rocket science here: If you print double-sided, you'll buy half as much paper, and if you print 100 pages in Draft Mode instead of regular mode, you'll save as much as $2 on ink.
- Quick release. In a PC World test, a typical inkjet printed 12 ppm (pages per minute) in regular mode but cranked out 36 ppm in Draft.
Jen From Renewable Choice Says: Here at the RCE office, we print as little as possible. When we absolutely have to print something we always choose double sided, on paper made from recycled materials; if by some chance it has to be one sided, we re-use the un-printed side for note paper and then recycle it when we're done with it. On a personal note, I'm happy to be home from a fantastic trip down under. I hope you all had a great couple of weeks and didn't miss my posts too much! ~Jen
