With Green IT and sustainable technologies being the talk of the town, do you as an individual contribute to the environmental issue? Do you prefer taking double-sided printouts or do you take single sided printouts? Cheers! Ram

I always prefer double sided print outs but occasionally when bound by some rules i go for single sided ones. Double sided ones saves not only paper reduces the weight when carrying a large document and also reduces cost. Since there are all these advantages i go for double sided print outs.

In our office we used to print a lot of documents just due to discrepancies in the signature or stuff like that. Now we use digi signs to even avoid that. In fact with it we even eliminate the need of taking printouts and just archive the electronic version of documents. Cheers! Ram

i print single-sided, because this way it is easier to follow and compare the text - when you put the pages one next to another but i keep the all ready printed for a second use - after some time i put them again, so another document can be printed on their backs and that is my contribute to the environmental and economical issues :) and that is how we proceed in the office too :) but, of course, the official documents for other people are only one-sided...

Official documents, of course you cannot do much, though I wonder why don't governments now start mandating double sided printouts for documents as well... Cheers! Ram

it depends on what i am printing. if i am printing for work, i generally do use double sided because i work at a not for profit agency so money is usually tight. at home, i am usually printing pictures, so single sided is best.

Hmm... ok... I guess if you are printing pictures for putting them up, you can't do a double sided printout anyway. Cheers! Ram
