Re:Printing with less environmental footprint ...?

2007-11-10 by john kelly

Avoiding terminally clogged printers (re:
ink/carts/CIS) reduces un-recyclable land fill and
provides the pleasure of stepping outside the
continual-obsolescence cycle (eg Epson's
lower-price-point versions, such as 1400/1800/1900)). 

Recycling carts or pressing dealers to do so...Staples
does locally, but I'm not sure where the carts really
go. 

Recycling of computers and out-of-date printers  (for
fix-up and donation to schools and charities) is done
in some communities...three local facilities do that
here. 

For my small office, Brother's *double-side* 
ultra-cheap/compact/fast/reliable HL5250DN has cut
paper use in half...I do a lot of printing, use
recycled paper, recycle it.
