Every page printed carries an environmental cost.
From excessive energy consumption to paper waste, unmanaged printing environments silently strain both the planet and your business budget. As organizations push toward net-zero goals and more responsible operations, the office printer is now part of a larger sustainability conversation.
Globally, printing accounts for up to 10% of a typical office’s energy use, and much of that comes from outdated, inefficient devices running around the clock (Source: Energy Star).
An average employee prints 10,000 pages per year, with nearly 50% of them being discarded unused or misplaced (Source: Gartner).
This is where Managed Print Services (MPS) steps in—not just as a cost-saving tool but as a sustainability enabler.
At Wepsol, our MPS offering—fluidPrint—is built on this very principle: to help businesses print less, print smart, and lower their energy footprint while enhancing productivity. Whether you’re a growing enterprise or an established multi-location organization, embracing smart print solutions is a strategic move toward greener operations.
Again, that’s where Managed Print Services (MPS) can help you stay ahead.
MPS isn’t just about streamlining printer fleets; it’s about rethinking the way organizations consume resources like paper, power, and printing supplies. At Wepsol, our MPS solution—fluidPrint—is designed to help businesses embrace smarter printing practices that support both productivity and planet-positive outcomes.
The Hidden Impact of Traditional Printing
Despite the ongoing wave of digital transformation, printing remains critical to everyday business workflows, especially in sectors like BFSI, government, education, and healthcare. However, without sustainable print management, organizations often face:
- Excessive energy consumption: Older and idle printers silently drain energy—and your bottom line.
- Redundant hardware: Department-wise standalone devices lead to higher power usage.
- High paper wastage: Stacks of A4 and legal paper end up in bins daily, because no one’s watching what gets printed.
- Increased carbon footprint: Unregulated printing accelerates carbon impact, driven by wasted sheets, energy-draining machines, and constant service cycles.
Unmanaged printing silently chips away at profits, with wasted energy, unchecked costs, and unsustainable practices stalling long-term growth.
Smart Printing with MPS: The Sustainable Shift
Sustainable Managed Print Services (MPS) bring a smart, centralized, and strategic approach to printing. Rather than operating in silos, businesses can gain visibility, control, and energy efficiency through smart printing solutions.
1. Device Consolidation and Energy-Efficient Hardware
Through MPS solutions, businesses replace scattered legacy printers with energy-efficient multifunction printers (MFPs). This reduces:
- Total device count
- Overall energy usage
- Maintenance needs and e-waste
At Wepsol, fluidPrint—our smart printing service—uses only certified devices, placed for optimal energy efficiency and reduced hardware redundancy.
2. Automated Sleep Modes and Scheduled Shutdowns
Smart MPS platforms enable remote management, including sleep modes & timed shutdowns to save passive energy.
With fluidPrint, Wepsol configures devices to shift into low-energy sleep or shut down after hours, driving sustainable printing practices without user intervention.
3. Print Rules and Access Control
By implementing rules such as duplex printing by default and pull printing, businesses promote green printing solutions. These measures:
- Prevent unnecessary or accidental prints
- Reduce energy-intensive reprints
- Encourage responsible print behavior across teams
4. Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting
One of the strongest enablers of sustainable printing is visibility. With fluidPrint, organizations receive insights into usage, energy patterns, and ESG performance.
This helps drive continuous optimization and supports sustainable print management aligned with compliance and reporting needs.
Why Sustainable Printing Matters
What is sustainable printing?
It’s the strategic reduction of environmental impact across the entire print lifecycle—from hardware efficiency to responsible usage and recycling.
More than just environmental stewardship, sustainable printing solutions offer real business benefits:
