Tips for Reducing Waste
Southeastern recommends that students review the following criteria before printing in order to maximize printing efficiency (to help you save prints) and reduce paper waste:
- If the document is excessively large, consider if it can be reduced.
- Attempt to eliminate white space.
- Change font size to fit more material on a page.
- Change margins in order to fit more on a page.
- Use single spacing when possible.
- Print only what needs to be printed. Use online resources when available.
- Use print preview before sending pages to printer.
- If a PowerPoint document, print 6 slides per page (if you need assistance with this, call a lab attendant).
Other things to Consider:
- If you send a Black and White document to a color printer you will be charged for a color print.
- Can the document be printed in Black and White, instead of color?
- Is your print a final copy?
