Testing out a greener printer – HP 8500
A few weeks back we delivered a ‘green printer’ to France (with the kind assistance of Darren Porter) for marketing and PR company Edelmann.
As a greener delivery company, it’s important to find someone who is going ‘that way’ when we arrange delivery of certain items – so it’s not so damaging on the environment (15% of emissions are from road transport).

We also collected the HP 8500 to trial ourselves at the same time. We take extra care with our back office and try to make is as green and efficient as possible. Waste is the worst kind of ‘not-green’ in this office, and we are often looking at creative ways to recycle things.
The printer, it’s a dream to use so far. We scan all our documents in and store them, we are often a companies unofficial back up of their delivery documents. We have saved approx 4 hours a week on scanning time alone.
We also have a an upcoming Business Scene event on the 2nd of July. I printed 150 red, black and gray invitations and only used a quarter of the ink that I normally do. I have enough ink to print up 100 or so posters for the Business Scene event in Brantham a few weeks later.
We also print a fair few invoices a week and other documentation and so far I am pleased with what the printer is saving me, in both time and money.
I shall keep you posted as to how I get on with it.

I’m cardartnorfolk in the Twitter world and found your Tweet about this printer there. I’m looking for a printer which can print heavier weights of paper (I oftern use around 230 gsm ) – do you think this one might be up for the job?
Hi Penny
Thanks for the question, I have done the invites on 160 gsms, no problem at all and they all fed nicely through the feeder with just one jam. On ,y previous printer I would have a jam every 5 or 6 cards!
I have no idea whether it could ‘cope’ with 230 gsms, but I will give it a go over the weekend and get back to you, if that’s ok.
Speak soon
