Recycling: The Habit Taking Time to Change

Recycling. From placing wastepaper in the correct bin at the office to smelting down scrap metal for reuse, recycling is an accepted practice in most countries worldwide. A contentious issue for many years, governments and OEMs are trying to reach agreements on how to best deal with cartridge and other print consumable waste, including a greater focus on remanufacturing and better regulation of the third party market. We discuss here the benefits of recycling for print supplies providers as well as the results of a recent Keypoint study on print supply use.

The Industry’s Shift Toward a Regulatory Evolution

As Earth Day approaches, our collective focus shifts towards our environmental footprint and the steps we can take to mitigate it. For the digital imaging industry—especially in the consumables sector—a significant transformation is underway that is driven by regulatory evolution and the rising tide of ecolabels. At Keypoint Intelligence, we’re navigating these changes with an eye on sustainability and market dynamics, committed to encouraging and supporting the industry’s journey toward greater environmental stewardship.

VIDEO: Do You Know Your Cost Cross Over Points for Offset and Digital Printing?

In the dynamic world of print production, understanding the most cost-effective methods for executing print jobs is crucial for print service providers (PSPs). This debate, often centered around the choice between offset and digital printing, has evolved significantly with technological advancements and shifts in raw material costs. As such, revisiting the calculations that determine the cost cross over points between these two printing technologies is not just beneficial—it’s essential. We discuss here the key features of Keypoint Intelligence's new Cross Over Point Estimator tool.
