ENERGY EFFICIENT PRINTERS
CONTINUED
Difference Using energy efficient printers does make a difference to a business’ sustainability targets. “Reduced waste such as paper toner and parts supports circular economy practices,” says James. “Particularly for businesses that have a large fleet, optimising energy efficiency with EcoMode and utilising data within our service solution Ricoh @Remote, can considerably reduce waste to achieve ESG targets.” Dan says one of the most immediate benefits is a significant reduction in carbon emissions, particularly where printers are in continuous use. “Helping customers measure this impact using Epson’s Optimisation Calculator means that businesses can physically quantify the energy reduction and directly attributable carbon from the generation of that electricity,” he adds. “Epson also offers an extended warranty that can guarantee serviceable life for up to eight years.” Tony adds that product reliability plays a critical role in reducing impact and achieving sustainability targets. “High- quality, reliable MFPs require fewer resources for repairs or replacements. By integrating energy efficiency with product reliability, businesses can create more sustainable and cost-effective operations.” Reseller notes When talking to customers about the benefits of energy efficient printers,
there are numerous things they should highlight. Cost savings is one. “Additionally, smart features such as automatic shutdown, low-energy standby and remote monitoring also contribute to cost savings,” says James. “Resellers can position energy efficiency as a factor that reduces operational costs over the printer’s life, reflecting on TCO. “Resellers should emphasise how printers support regulatory compliance and green certifications, meeting eco- compliance standards.” Dan agrees that resellers should highlight the long-term cost savings. “Many businesses still focus on upfront costs when purchasing hardware, but energy-efficient models deliver significant reductions in operational expenses over time. Lower electricity bills, fewer maintenance requirements, and reduced consumable waste all contribute to improved cost efficiency.” Peter adds that the reduction in carbon emissions should be highlighted. “Device features such as ultra-low power sleep modes, reduced fusing temperatures, and proven reliability can significantly lower energy and unforeseen running costs,” he says. Tony adds that resellers should also focus on customisable sustainability features. “Such as those that help reduce paper usage and minimise waste,” he says. “By showcasing these features, resellers can help customers achieve a smarter, greener office while also making smart financial and environmental decisions.” Stuart says resellers need to educate customers. “As customers look to take their digital transformation to the next stage, resellers can optimise energy efficiency as part of this process,” he says. “By highlighting the effectiveness of MPS as a way to streamline processes and better monitor devices, resellers can help maximise the lifespan of customer equipment and the overall efficiency of their workflow.”
