Line Matrix Printer - Environmental Advantages

Environmental Advantages

Many of the line matrix printers on the market today claim to have a more positive environmental impact than standard printers in the past. Several lines of printers, such as the Printronix P7000 cartridge series of line matrix printers are ENERGY STAR® qualified and provide 40 percent operational energy savings compared to laser printers. Line matrix printers can handle highly recycled paper stock, use cartridge ribbons which yield 30,000 printed pages before replacement and have printer hardware with much longer life cycles. Unlike laser printers which have been criticized for their environmental emissions, line matrix printers don’t emit harmful particulates into the workplace.
