​The Myth Of A Paperless Office

With the advancement in technology, every business is changing at a rapid rate. Since sharing and viewing documents online has become easier, many people believe that offices can go paperless.

We are making contracts, sharing invoices and invitations, and even legal documents have gone online. Still, can you think of an office without any paper?

The paperless office seems like a dream, at least for a few years, and here is why?

Prints Are Still In Demand

The first important thing is, prints are still in demand. No matter what, hard copies of important documents are still kept in every office. Many people like to plan their schedule in a diary instead of their phone or laptop.

Moreover, some documents are safer as hard copies than storing online. The technology has not yet become completely safe as we hear several cases of the data breach.

Print Are Easy To Mark And Read

While going paperless will help in cutting costs on printing supplies, some things are done better on paper. Hard copies are easy to read and mark important things. Moreover, if you are in a meeting, taking notes on paper is easier than doing the same on a laptop or smartphone.

Keeping information on paper also saves time. You can read quickly because there are no issues such as network and slow system when you read from paper.

Prints Are Inexpensive

Printer, ink and toner cartridges, and other supplies might seem expensive as a whole, but when you calculate cost per print, you find it inexpensive. They don’t cost you much and are useful in so many ways.

Print Marketing is Credible

Online marketing has become so common that every other individual is a marketer. With so many people regularly sending marketing emails, online marketing comes under doubt.

Printed pamphlets delivered to people are more credible than emails. They believe that if someone is making these many efforts, they are serious about their work. Moreover, many of them keep the prints safe and while emails once neglected are probably never opened again.

Even those who are doing it right also see printing as a part of it. Videos are great, but magazines still manage to steal the show.

Printing Is Not That Bad

Though prints are accused of increasing deforestation, the claims are not all true. If we all take an oath to plant at least one tree a year, the average paper needs will be sorted.

Moreover, recycling paper is another great way of showing your support for the environment.

The Nostalgia Associated With Prints

The smell of books and the look of old paper will never get out of our hearts. The present generation has seen the biggest changes and that’s why they are so nostalgic.

Their love for the paper will never let prints go out of trend.

We all need to focus on using the least resources, but that doesn’t mean we completely stop it. The resources are there to be used, only a limit is required to prevent exploitation of nature.
