A few weeks back we delivered a ‘green printer’ to France (with the kind assistance of Darren Porter) for marketing and PR company Edelmann.
As a greener delivery company, it’s important to find someone who is going ‘that way’ when we arrange delivery of certain items – so it’s not so damaging on the environment (15% of emissions are from road transport).
We also collected the HP 8500 to trial ourselves at the same time. We take extra care with our back office and try to make is as green and efficient as possible. Waste is the worst kind of ‘not-green’ in this office, and we are often looking at creative ways to recycle things.
The printer, it’s a dream to use so far. We scan all our documents in and store them, we are often a companies unofficial back up of their delivery documents. We have saved approx 4 hours a week on scanning time alone.
We also have a an upcoming Business Scene event on the 2nd of July. I printed 150 red, black and gray invitations and only used a quarter of the ink that I normally do. I have enough ink to print up 100 or so posters for the Business Scene event in Brantham a few weeks later.
We also print a fair few invoices a week and other documentation and so far I am pleased with what the printer is saving me, in both time and money.
I must point out at this point, this printer isn't a laser printer, but an inkjet printer - and a viable greener alternative to a laser printer.
Thanks Tom @ Edelmann for reminding me to update everyone on my thoughts and progress with the printer.
I shall keep you posted as to how I get on with it.

PS did I mention I LOVE the fact it's wireless...
