Extend the life of the PRINTER – no refreshing in 3 years

I agree to have my idea, not my name or information, posted online.:
Yes

Extend the life of the PRINTER – no refreshing in 3 years is needed.

The life spam on printers is actually measured by the amount of printouts the printer do in its life, and not because the printer is 3 years old and it needs to be replaced. YOU CAN ENVEN doubled this timeframe, and save cost for the office, the government and the tax payers.

For example high-end and network printers has a life spam of 500,000 printouts, this is approximately 100,000 per year for a total of 5 years. This is assuming the offices print 8350 pages per months. The printer even could last longer that the specified life spam stated by the manufacture. Parts can be replaced, and if the cost of repair exceed 40% of the cost of the printer, then it would not be economical to repair.

On another note, on today’s economy saving there is no need to print as mush as in the way we used to 5 or 10 years ago.

Save energy, do less waste, go paperless and save tax payers money
