Everyone knows pushing print is easy, many people don’t know that controlling and managing it is also easy and has many benefits! Controlling cost and reducing waste are key objectives of any print strategy and there is a simple, effective way of achieving them.

As technology continues to advance every day, trends are also changing more frequently. It can sometimes be a struggle to keep up with all the latest developments, but it’s necessary.
All businesses use office printers, and few really know which printer to purchase that will cater to their requirements.
Not all printers print documents of the same quality, not all printers can perform the same jobs and have the same functions. Choosing the right printer is pretty much as complex a purchase as getting a computer, laptop or smartphone.
The world is at war with plastic pollution. South Africa has officially made the top 20 of the world’s worst plastic polluters – we are ranked at number 11, worse than India, and the entire United States.
The reason is that South Africans on average, use approximately two kilograms of plastic per day, which amounts to a whopping 42 million tons of plastic waste generated each year. The problem is that only 21 % of this is recycled – the remaining 79 % of plastic waste is either disposed to landfill, or ends up in our oceans. In South Africa, the equivalent of one dump truck of plastic is emptied into the ocean every minute! In fact, it is predicted that by the year 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean by weight, than fish!
Will the printer industry eventually die?
I think most people will answer the above question with an unequivocal “of course it will die”, and this answer is no doubt based on the rapidity at which digital accessibility is growing (not to mention how happy our youth are on their screens!).
Perhaps then the question should be “how quickly” will it die?
