All too often, being environmentally responsible in business means incurring added costs. Not so, however, with imageCARE. In fact, the opposite is true. While imageCARE reduces your environmental impact, it actually saves your organization anywhere from 30-50% in printing costs. Here are a few examples of typical ways in which organizations become greener through imageCARE.

1. RECYCLED CARTRIDGES.

Print cartridges that are thrown away take up an inordinate amount of space in landfills. Recycling and using remanufactured cartridges not only frees landfill space, but keeps your costs down.

2. RULES-BASED PRINTING.

Employees are made aware of poor printing habits and common overuses of paper. When new rules are put in place, including the digitization of workflow, paper use goes down dramatically. Paper saved means trees saved. Trees saved means carbon reduction.

3. DUPLEX PRINTING.

Printing on both sides of a sheet of paper is an easy adjustment that can have a dramatic impact on the environment.

4. ELECTRICITY REDUCTION.

When your print fleet is poorly managed, equipment is poorly used, often translating to power usage that's out of line with best environmental practices. imageCARE ensures machines are being used properly – and that unneeded machines are recycled.

5. ELECTRONIC CONTENT MANAGEMENT.

Creating electronic workflows to increase efficiency and reduce paper consumption can have a dramatic impact on the environment. You will use less paper while accomplishing more as a business.

6. DEVICE OPTIMIZATION.

Understanding the requirements of each business unit to output images allows you to use the right device for the right job. Optimizing your fleet eliminates unnecessary devices, reducing electricity usage and increasing efficiency.
