It seems like in the past few years, everyone has become obsessed with helping the environment—and it’s about time. Nowadays everyone is “going green”. It makes sense that the printing industry would go green too. To check out one of HP’s green printers, look at HP OfficeJet Pro 8000.

Energy Star compliant products are products that cut utility costs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, conserve energy and help the quality of our environment. They generally do this without sacrificing the quality of finished products. Energy Star products use about half as much electricity as standard product. In turn this is going to save you half as much in utility costs. Energy Star products also have automatic turn-off settings that cause them to go into “sleep” mode after they’ve been inactive for so long.

Many of HP’s printers come with an Eco Highlights label to show how specifically each one helps the environment. On these labels the energy efficiency rate, percentage of recycled material and end-of-life recyclability are all offered. This will show you just how much recycled plastic is on your printer or the cartridges used inside. You can even browse around and look at every Eco Highlights label on the internet!

Another thing you could do to help the environment is by choosing an all-in-one unit instead of four separate units. This way, when they die, you are only recycling one machine instead of four. Plus, you will only be throwing away one set of ink or toner cartridges instead of multiple every month which create waste.

Also, you need to purchase remanufactured cartridges from third party vendors. These are essentially recycled products that are made to be like new. You will need to also recycle your cartridges when they are empty, as well as your printer when it is time for an upgrade.
