Printing

[A_B]

Taking a survey: How many pages on average would say you print out in a given week?

Sales orders get printed. No good way I've found to manage my business without hard copies.

[duff]

I print little to nothing. Now others at work are printing fools, but that comes with printing out the jobs for the shop floor.

[Sabo]

I think I've printed maybe five pages in the last year.

[Johnny Carwash]

I work remotely and my company's work is 99% digital, so usually only print something out if it's a reference doc or personal business.

Also related, I do business with a couple of competing distributors in WI. One's corporate made everyone change their email sigs to say "Save a tree, think before you print this email" and a link to their green policy. Guy down the road is not as corporate and changes his email sig line to a little tree emoji and "Save a lumberjack, print this email!"

Being retired, I print very little.

But, to vent on the subject, every time I file a claim with my health insurance company, I receive a hard copy notification of how much they paid and how much they refuse to pay. That's all well and good, but there are always four extra pages included with boilerplate language about their various policies.

And, how about those flyers that come with the snail mail every week from all the various grocery stores. Ten pages of crap that go to every single house. (When I did my short stint as a mailman, I'd look at that Tuesday stack of flyers and groan).

PDF?

PDF?

I mark them up constantly and maintain different folders for shipments in certain time frames. It's not to say it couldn't be done, I suppose I should have said it would require a complete reworking of a filing system and a more reliable computer at the very least. I do recycle/commercially shred all my paper, so I'm hoping that absolves me somewhat.

Do I have to count large exquisite maps as more than a page?

[Pruitt]

I misvoted - usually between 50-100. Busy weeks, double that.

[GoodKarma]

If I need to read something or work off a training outline I print...much easier for me to read and I like to take notes on training outlines when working with customers

[brian]

About the only thing I ever print is concert tickets and the occasional coupon.

[The Sybian]

Working from home and buying my own ink drastically reduced my printing. I used to print out my interview notes when drafting investigation reports, but my cheapness led me to flipping between windows to look back at my notes. I used to print out to proofread, and now proofread of my screen.

Speaking of printers, about months ago, mine stopped working HP Officejet. As best I can tell, the printer is identifying the in cartridges as not "authentic HP products." They are. I've tried every suggested fix on the HP website and user forums, nothing works. The last option is buying new cartridges. a set of color and black ink runs about the same as a new printer, so I really don't want to spend the money on ink with a chance it still won't work, so probably makes more sense just to buy a new printer.

School forms and return labels.

"The Paperless Office." Remember that theory?

I am currently developing a series where the initial proposal was 216 pages long. God help me, I didn't want to print it up.

I'd imagine that Vince Gilligan's series arc for "Breaking Bad" was no more than 50 pages or so.

So the paperless office thing was where I was headed. I’m in the 1-10 a week. I’d say a year ago I was in the 50+ for sure and maybe 100. Now I do almost all of my note taking through Evernote and annotate PDFs heads up. Works through phone or computer. So I have gone mostly paperless and didn’t really change my work flow. I still have a Notebook that I use it a computer would be an issue but that’s about it.

With scripts and editing it's a different world.

Or maybe it's just me. If I don;t make notes on the actual print outs of the documents, I make a ton of errors.

I'm sadly in the many, many pages per week club. I haven't found any way to replicate editing on actual paper.

Track changes feature? That's what one of the lawyers that works here does.

I use that when co-drafting something with opposing counsel, and I find it good for that, but there's something about printing and hand editing on documents that I draft on my own. I'm somewhat intrigued about Evernote as a solution.
