A recent study attendant by Epson aims to the need of politics of rational use of the impressesion and saving in costs

To the office without papers? Better to an efficient use of the paper in the office

Editorial Interempresas13/02/2013

A recent study of the independent quality consultancy Coleman Parkes aims to that the offices follow producing regularly documents printed matter like part of his usual work. However, the politics of rational use of the impressesion in the office follow escaseando, while the technology allows to optimise his use.

Are many the headlines in presses that carry already quite time announcing the ‘office without papers'. An utopia? A reality? A wish? Something that yes knows is that, at present, the companies follow printing and a lot like part of his day in day out. An affirmation that gives off of the survey realised to more than 500 European SMEs by part of Coleman Parkes, independent quality consultancy that has realised the survey on ‘Behaviour and Attitudes of users of printers in the company', under commission of Epson.

Through a telephone survey of roughly 15 minutes to 510 managers of companies of 1 to 100 workers in Germany, Italy, France, United Kingdom and Spain arrived to the conclusion that the companies follow printing a lot, and even often of unnecessary form. Therefore, at first sight, one of the big conclusions of the study is that they would be necessary politics of use to exert a greater control of the service of impressesion in the office, especially thinking in the reduction of costs and waste (protecting, therefore, the environingingment).

The Spanish companies interviewed, pertaining in his majority to the professional service sector, had like average of two printers of injection of ink and two printers laser in the office; using these last basically for the impressesion of letters, leaves of calculation and presentations -in his majority in format text.

Which technology of impressesion prefer the companies in Spain? Inkjet vs Laser

The survey of Coleman Parkes reflects a gradual progression of the companies to a greater incorporation of printers of injection of ink in his offices, substituting to the most usual presence of laser to date. The reasons that esgrimen the respondents aim to the superiority or suitability of the injection of ink in terms of environingingmental respect or quality. But, how it decides the employer or responsible of YOU between one or another technology? Then , according to the data of the survey, in Spain prevails the recommendation of the provider. In this sense, and given the coyuntura economic current, seems that the factor total cost is one of the most used by the providers in the moment of the recommendation. Like this, the study Benchmark realised by Bench Experts in France shows that the equipment of injection of ink of the series Epson WorkForce Pro reduce the cost in 50% concerning the main competitors laser.

Another interesting data in the moment of the decision of purchase seems that it is -increasingly- the level of energetic consumption. No longer only we speak of a reduction of the cost in the bill, but especially of a lower footprint of carbon and, therefore, a greater environingingmental respect and the collaboration of the company user with the welfare of the planet.

By the contrary, the main barriers to decide incorporate the injection of ink in the office situate in a supposed greater difficulty in his maintenance and a faster consumption of the inks. Here, Epson has known to solve this possible problem when creating cartridges of high performance that allow the impressesion of until 3.400 pages to colour or 10.000 in monochrome.

A positive appearance, however, is that 32% of the Spanish companies respondents has bought, or would pose buy, a printer of injection of ink in place of a laser; this aims to a change of tendency, since it pursues a greater quality of impressesion and the reduction in costs. Likewise, the technology of injection of ink answers perfectly to the pattern of use that draws with the results of the survey of Coleman Parkes, with a thrown average from among 1 and 4 pages, for which results more economic to use a printer of injection of ink that a laser.
