Eco-Friendly

Did you know, that copying and printing using conventional toner -based copiers and printers can damage the environment and could potentially affect your health? Photocopiers and laser printers emit many substances that can affect health such as hydrocarbons, ozone, volatile organic compounds and dust from paper and toner.

Additionally the office photocopier is likely to be the highest single energy using piece of equipment. Copiers use between 40-70 Watts during standby and 1,400-1,600 Watts when operating. The majority of electricity consumed by photocopiers is used to heat components which fuse the toner to the paper and these are often kept hot whilst the machine is in standby mode.

There is a much more friendly alternative. RISO "Hybrid" devices use 85% less energy than conventional toner based devices and emit no fumes or particles. Revolutionary Piezo technology lays pigment ink directly onto paper to produce vibrant colour images at speed.

 "The print room is cooler, the air less acrid and there is no longer a smell of ozone. It is wonderful to be able to breathe again."
