Here at Laser Plus, we know that you expect the best service available when you need printer services completed. But, we’re looking to achieve better than the best – so, we’ve set some high standards for ourselves that we hope you’ll test out.

1.) Being Exceptional: we’re working to provide you with service and solutions that will make you go “WOW!” We want to create that by being exceptionally good at repair times, at finding solutions for your equipment snafus and by communicating well with you about every issue; big or small.

2.) Being Extraordinary: we want you to know that we care deeply about your business and how you get your work done. Sure, you could say it’s just about the equipment – but, when you’re productivity comes to a screeching halt because of your computer or printer – we want to come to the rescue and be extraordinary about it.

3.) Being Engaged: staying close to the customer is our goal. By staying engaged with our customers we will know more about your equipment’s history and what it needs to perform at its best. By staying close to your situation, we can be the watchdogs of your equipment.

Good customer service isn’t rocket science, but it does take commitment and care. And, we have plenty of both. Test us out, we love to perform.

The following facts, taken from an article posted on Reuters.com by Cartridge World, are things that everyone should know before throwing those empty ink cartridges in the trash.

• It takes about a gallon of oil to make a new toner cartridge.
• A medium-sized business can use between 900 and 1,600 ink cartridges per year.
• Cartridges take up to 450 years to decompose in a landfill.
• Over 350 million cartridges are thrown out per year, and this number increases by 12% annually.
• Almost 8 cartridges are thrown away per second in the U.S.
• Every remanufactured cartridge saves nearly 3.5 pounds of solid waste from being deposited in landfills.
• 70-95% of used printer cartridges throughout the world are currently being thrown out.
• In one year, if the world’s discarded cartridges were stacked end-to-end; they would circle the earth over three times.

So the next time your ink runs out help the environment and contact LaserPlusUSA to recycle the old cartridge and we can help with any other printing needs you have as well!

Did you know that the average U.S. office worker prints 10,000 sheets of paper per year!?

Think about all of the money that can be saved in your office if a few printing strategies are put in place.  Not only will this save the environment it will also save your wallet.

Here are a few strategies to put in place at your office once you have your new refurbished printing gear:

• Instruct employees to print two pages side by side when it is an unofficial document
• Keep a recycling bin handy near every printer
• Print on recycled paper containing a minimum of 30% post-consumer waste
• Print presentations with 4 or 6 sides per page
• Reduce margin space when possible
• Print on both sides for handouts

These strategies are all important to save the environment and keep money in your pocket. Contact LaserPlusUSA at sales@LaserPlusUSA.com or call 717.397.1377 and we can help you with all of your printing needs from supplying refurbished printers to recycling your old cartridges.

Why do we bother talking about landfills when we’re selling printer cartridges and computer and printer services?  Because every small “green” thing we all can do makes a difference.

For example, using recycled printer cartridges saves the equivalent volume of an elephant in waste from landfills every week.

So, other than the tree-huggers, who cares about that?

As it turns out, a lot of people care because every community has a landfill that is a potential hazard to the health of its citizens.

Landfills can cause methane gas problems, other odors, smoke, dust, litter, pests; not to mention some of the sites that have been linked to cancers, leukemia and other deadly diseases.  So, landfills are not an easy problem to deal with because of our hugely wasteful nation of consumers.

As noted in one Landfill blog, “Much more could be done to reduce and recycle the waste we produce and small changes can make a big difference.  Recycling uses much less energy and raw materials than making new products.  Please support recycling and practice it yourself.”

To that, I say “Amen” and would add that recycling printer cartridges through Laser Plus also supports the local business economy.

It’s time to go “green.”  Mary

Unbelievable! It’s almost the end of 2008 and we are crazy busy with servicing customers on the printer/computer side of the business. The cartridge side of the business continues along – we’re working on our green initiative – a lot more about that in the future. In the meantime, check out our website at www.laserplususa.com.
