Aberdeen University calls to stop using staples for the environment

Print rather than copy!

Interesting item from Bradford University
It says If you only want a small number of copies of a document then think about whether you need to print the document at all. If you do, then it is usually more energy efficient to use a printer than a photocopier. This of course depends on types of printers and copiers in use in your bit of the University – but in general:
• Inkjet printers are more energy efficient than laser printers
• Black and white printers are more energy efficient than colour printers
• Photocopiers use more energy than printers per copied sheet
