Eco Friendly Printers

For home or small-office use, a compact Black & White MFP offers the best balance of energy efficiency and low running costs. These devices consume less power than full-color production models, use toner-saving settings, and support duplex printing to minimize paper use—making them ideal for light, everyday printing without unnecessary environmental impact.

Yes, select Sharp Color Printers and MFPs available through Southern Office Machines carry Energy Star certification, meeting strict federal guidelines for energy efficiency. These models reduce standby power draw and overall electricity consumption while maintaining fast, reliable print, copy, scan, and fax performance for busy office environments.

Managed Print Services (MPS) track usage patterns, right-size your print fleet, and automate toner replenishment to prevent overordering and waste.
