Re: printers v. copiers

Hi Mike,

This begs the question: Why use paper at all?

Subject: printers v. copiers

Hi - One of our librarians asked a question about the economics of using
a printer vs. a copier. Thinking about it a bit, it seems to me there
are a few variables at work for most schools. Is the printer an ink-jet
or laser printer? How does the fact that most of our copiers are b/w
and most of our printers color capable affect the equation? And for a
question like this, I would define the word "economics" broadly enough
to include environmental repercussions. A fairly open-ended inquiry, but
I'm wondering if anyone has pertinent information. Thanks.
