Tax Season and First Quarter of 2013 Increases Printing Costs for Businesses

Cartridge World – Brookfield Offers Cost-Saving Ideas

While the New Year created opportunities to start new resolutions, marketing plans and budgets, it also marked the start of tax season. For local business owners, accountants and tax preparers, that also meant more paperwork and printing.

“Businesses are facing a huge increase in printing during this time of the year, so it’s a great time to examine home and office printing costs,” says Corrine Nareski, owner of Cartridge World - Brookfield. “Companies can easily reduce their office printing cost by up to 30 percent – by simply choosing the right printers, printing modes and printer cartridges.”

Cartridge World, the leading ink and toner retailer and franchisor, suggests the following tips to help cut costs on printing:

1. Use Draft Print Mode – Many print applications have a “draft print” mode that uses less ink to print documents. The text will look more gray than black, so use the feature on documents that will be used internally.
2. Use the Right Printer – Match office printing needs with the right machine. Color inkjet printers are not designed for printing hundreds of black-and-white pages. For high-volume printing, use a mono laser printer and high-yield toner cartridges to double printing output at almost half the price.
3. Buy Remanufactured Cartridges – Save up to 30 percent on printing by buying high-performance ink and toner from Cartridge World – instead of full-priced cartridges from office supply stores. The products are 100 percent guaranteed and eco friendly. To calculate how much money can be saved, visit Cartridge World - Brookfield or www.CartridgeWorld.com/Brookfield-WI/53045-0722
4. Use Print Preview – Use the “print preview” function that displays how pages will appear before they are printed. This feature can help resolve formatting issues before printing.
5. Use Duplex Printers – By using duplex printing, which prints on two sides of a sheet of paper, you can cut your printing job in half.

Businesses can save hundreds to thousands of dollars a year if they buy the right printers and printing supplies. “At Cartridge World - Brookfield, we are office printing experts. Count on us to answer printing questions that the big boxes don’t know and that the manufacturers don’t want you to know,” Nareski added.
