Are paperless offices still a long way off?

Proving that the ‘digital office’ is still a long way off, new research by OKI Systems has found that 92% of employees are still printing on physical paper at least once a day.

The research, involving 2000 employees in the UK, found that 45% were printing more than ten pages a day. Dispelling myths that paperless offices are becoming the norm.

79% of those surveyed even said that they use office equipment to print personal documents, with 9% claiming they do this daily.

The survey also showed that tablets and smartphones are a rising cause of printing traffic with 24% of respondents saying they brought their devices into the office, and 45% saying they use them to print.

Clearly the blurring of home and office time, brought on by the rise in mobile working, is having an impact on an organisation’s printing needs!
