How to Cut your Paper Costs in HALF!

Well, probably in half.

Use the back side of each page. You can:
1. Use the "DUPLEX" feature of your printer if it has one. This allows a print job to be printed on both sides of a page. This also helps with postage costs.

2. Many printers don't allow duplex printing. But, often what we print ends up being un-needed after a while. Why not:

> Put a box beside your desk or printer.
> Each time you have a piece of paper that is no longer needed, consider if the blank side can be used.
> Consider what is already on the front side of the paper- obviously, you are not going to want to re-use paper with confidential information on it!
> Place the paper in the box with the "clean" side up.
> After you have enough paper, you can place this stack in your printer's feed tray.

WORKS BEST: paper with basic coverage (not a lot of graphics) and paper with no bends, tears, or staples.


What do you do with the paper once BOTH sides have been used? Hopefully, your office and home have a way to recycle it so it does not end up in landfills!
