A business must run efficiently, and unfortunately in most cases you can’t help but guiltily slay another tree with your axe, contributing to a warmer globe by needing to print that purchase order, account form, client proposal and hopefully many an invoice!  So you authorise a printer cartridge invoice with a hint of reluctance.
