All of our printers at work are programmed to produce output printed on both sides of a piece of paper. This initiative came from our Eco-Care Team. It is a great idea, in theory. Don't get me wrong, I am all about the planet. I recycle like a fiend. However this double sided thing, for me anyways, is back-firing. Why? Because there are times when one sided prints are necessary or even mandatory. If I want a one sided document, I have to remember to adjust the setting back to one sided. When I am in the middle of a project and focused on getting the job done, the last thing I remember to do is adjust that setting. This just happened a 1/2 hour ago. I tossed 109 pages of double sided prints into the recycle bin to turn around and reproduce 218 single sided prints.
Sometimes you just can't win.
