Are you trying to reduce your office’s carbon footprint?

Do you know if it’s possible for your company to go green and save money at the same time?

We’re all aware of the human impact on the environment, and as a business owner, you’ve probably been taking steps to make your workplace eco-friendlier.

Simple steps like working remotely when possible, reducing energy consumption, switching to a water tank rather than plastic water bottles, and office recycling are great places to start, but have you considered how printing contributes to your carbon footprint?

Here are a few ways to practice eco-friendly printing:

  1. Use paper responsibly: Whenever you can, reuse a paper before tossing it in the recycling bin. If one side of a printed paper is blank, consider printing on the other side, or repurpose the paper to use as packing materials, or for taking notes on.
  2. Use your printer’s double-sided settings: Review the settings on your printer and try to print double sided whenever possible rather than using two full pages.
  3. Try environmentally friendly printing paper: Eco-friendly printing papers consist of high-recycled content, which are cost-effective, and use less chemicals in the manufacturing process.
  4. Choose an energy-efficient printer: Choosing the right printer can significantly help you reduce your carbon footprint. Compact and lightweight printers are easy to install, and they save space and energy in your office.

Less Paper, Smaller Footprint

It goes without saying that reducing paper usage means reducing your company’s environmental impact. When you do need to print, we can help you make sure you’re using the most high-quality printer ink so you can avoid printing multiple copies of the same document.

“The folks at Michigan Computer Supplies are remarkably easy to work with, super nice, and quick! They get back to me right away and deliver immediately it seems. And as a non-profit theater, they are very supportive. They are generous to all of us in the non-profit world. This is the ideal business model, as far as I'm concerned: really friendly people, great customer service and support of us little guys.” - Suzi Peterson, Managing Director Ann Arbor Civic Theatre

I have worked with Michigan Computer Supplies for about two and a half years. They supply us with 5-10 toner cartridges each month for about 17 printers, of which some are large volume printers. We use both their refurbished and original manufactured toner depending on the device. I believe the refurbished cartridges work just as good as the originals. We also order Zebra printers and labels, Ethernet cables, bar code scanning devices and more. You name it. They have it. Occasionally we have also purchased printer devices and have had items repaired by them as well. I typically call once a week because we go through so much toner. When I call to let them know that we are getting low on supplies they are very efficient with their response time. Kyle delivers new toner by the next day and removes the old cartridges and recycles them. In addition, Jessica often mentions other cost saving measures such as quantity price breaks or recommends a compatible refurbished cartridge to save money. They try to give their customers the most bang for their buck! They are a great group of people to work with. They are very customer oriented and go above and beyond expectations. We recently had a specialized fax machine stop working that would cost $2,000 to replace. I spoke with Chris and he did some research and within 30 minutes called back with a suggestion of another device that would fit our needs for only $ 400.00! They really care about their customers.
