I also use the paper for jotting notes,grocery lists, for grandkids drawings and paintings.

I also use the back-side printing for printed copies of online financial transactions, orders, etc. once posted on their site, or received email confirmation, I shred the document. Also check your printer setting to see if the setting is at about 300dpi, some are set at 600dpi, which is a waste of ink for just everyday printing.

Excellent idea, one which I used for years at our business. Sometimes, it was difficult to tell if it was for re-cycle, or which side was the new side info. So, I started to ink a big X on the no-longer-needed side before re-use. That proved too time-consuming, so since our printer had a side load for copying on the back side, I placed a stack of paper in and put one page with an 'X' on under the copier lid, then ran the stack through, easily X-ing out the print side, so I knew then it was info.

no longer needed. I hope this makes sense! Blessings.

Unless it is something that is very important, remember to set your printer on "fast draft" to save ink too.

We have been doing this for years. We ask friends to reuse the blank side of paper, & if they don't, give the paper to us! Good way to the message around to conserve trees and energy, by example..

I also save them and let my grand-kids draw or color on them. They are always wanting a blank piece of paper.

I tended to waste an awful lot of paper when I first got my printer. What I do now is, I fold and cut A4 paper into 4 pieces (unused side) rather than 'bin' them. When there are enough to make a decent scribble pad, staple together. Hey presto! No more buying pads from the Stationers. This also saves trees.

Great post. Over the years Ive ordered dozens of catalogs that were printed with less than expected quality, some being downright scrappy. A couple months ago my company in Hobe Sound FL, printed some catalogs with PCA Delta on both sides of the paper and they were great. I've been printing with them ever since. They show care for the environment by using soy based inks, plus recycled papers are available upon request. If you need items printed on recycled paper go to www.pcadeltaprinting.com/ I strongly recommend them.

I have been doing this for quite some time and it really saves paper. Now if only I could figure out how to save on ink as I really print out a lot of "stuff". Terri

This is a huge DON'T in the IT World. It deposits ink/toner in the paper path and causes the rollers to wear out prematurely. Also, paper that has gone through the fuser (laser jets) is dried out and curls causing jams in the paper path. If you want to cut the life of your printer in half, do what Beverly does.

It depends on your printer and how it takes the paper. It is often with the printing side up and with the top toward the printer but I've seen it the other way too. Best idea might be to try one first before you do a bunch.

I decided a bit ago to recycle the paper that comes from our printer, we always for some reason get an extra one or two when we print something.
