Los Angeles, CA, December 11, 2007
With
so many companies today looking for practical
ways to go green, LaserCare Technologies a
local print-copy-fax solutions company, has
found a great way. Over the past twenty years,
the company has recycled some 300,000 laser
printer toner cartridges.
Had these 300,000 cartridges gone to a landfill,
they would have taken up 75,000 cubic feet of
space weighing over 250 tons. Laid end to end
on the 405 freeway, these toner cartridges would
stretch from LAX all the way to Mission Viejo.
Companies don’t always realize the
toll that printing can take on the environment,”
says Paul Wilhelm, President of LaserCare. “By
using compatible print cartridges you get to
save money while you save the environment.”
Laser printer cartridges contain components that
can be reused. LaserCare uses a quality-controlled
manufacturing environment to rebuild the cartridges
to perform the same as new print cartridges.
“We call our compatible printer supplies
equivalent to brand new cartridges since they
are guaranteed to perform just like new cartridges,” says
Wilhelm.
The manufacturing process involves more than just
adding new toner powder to the cartridges. Each
cartridge goes through a detailed inspection process
to ensure that all of the components are fully
operational. Components that are worn are replaced
with new imaging components. Thousands of satisfied
customers can attest to the highest quality.
LaserCare has created more than a dozen local
manufacturing jobs, proving that being environmentally-friendly
can be good for local business.
In addition to providing recycled toner cartridges,
LaserCare helps clients reduce their paper usage.
“It seems counter-intuitive that a printer
supply company would want to help its clients
print less,” says Wilhelm. “However,
we realize that when we help our clients achieve
their objectives, it builds long term relationships.”
LaserCare provides a PrintSmart™ program
with a detailed assessment to determine what
printing their client is actually doing in terms
of total monthly page output and cost. Armed
with this key data, they help their clients optimize
their printing infrastructure.
Common recommendations include using two-sided
printing to reduce paper usage, eliminating or
replacing obsolete and expensive copiers, and
redeploying existing printers according to monthly
usage volumes to maximize return on investment
(ROI). The company also helps clients leverage
HP multifunctional technology to consolidate printers,
copiers and faxes into one device, thereby significantly
reducing monthly cost and power consumption.
Next, they continually monitor the fleet of printers,
tracking and reporting on all pages, and providing
unlimited supplies and onsite maintenance services
as needed.
LaserCare’s team likes to meet with their
clients on a regular basis to continually improve
their printing infrastructure. This allows for
continuous cost reduction and productivity improvements.
LaserCare (www.lasercare.com) is a Los Angeles
based print-copy-fax solutions company that provides
managed print services to help companies control
printing costs. Over the past twenty years, the
company has been responsible for managing over
three billion printed pages for clients throughout
Southern California, and is a carefully selected
Hewlett-Packard Solutions VIP Elite Authorized
Business Partner, a status that only 60 dealers
nationwide have achieved based on superior expertise
and support.
