Presentation topic : "Print less, save more" value proposition Save time/Save money/Save the environment.

 

Print Less?’ This may seem like a surprising message for a company 100% dedicated to printing and output solutions. But when you consider some important facts, it makes a lot of sense.

 

Today, 70% of companies don’t even know how much they spend on printing (IDC). One page out of six goes directly to the waste bin without ever being read (IPSOS*).

 

In this presentation we will look at the impact documents have on a business , we will explain the benefits of implementing an output strategy and will explain how Lexmark's approach, methodology and solutions will help companies dramatically enhance the way they work , the way they print while reducing their impact on the environment.
