Printing and Copying in the Workplace

Quick Pix

Fifteen years ago, with the introduction of computers in the workplace, it was predicted that offices would eventually be paperless. They couldn’t have been more wrong! It seems like we are printing and copying more than ever. If you work in an office, you probably print or copy several documents on a daily basis. We conducted a survey to find out your behaviour when it comes to printing and copying at the office. What do you do when an error message appears? Do you print or copy personal materials? We’ve gathered some results we think you’ll find interesting.

When waiting for a printing job to complete, most people (25.3%) read other materials left near the printer or talk with colleagues about work (38.4%).

News & Updates


		Keeping you Posted We really appreciate and value your participation in our Panel, and we always love to hear feedback from you! Here are a few comments from other panelists that we wanted to share with you. "I like the way you offer a choice of prize you'd want to win. I think the questions are fine and the surveys in general don't take too long." "Most of your surveys are on subjects I can contribute to meaningfully. ....well targeted, I guess. Some are a bit long, but not as bad as a few other panels." "Since you have a little game to play after I take my survey I really look more forward in taking my survey invitation from you. Keep sending me invitations. I do enjoy taking them!"

After trying countless remedies and attracting national media attention, Jennifer Mee said her hiccups suddenly stopped around 5 p.m. Wednesday. No one is certain why.
