If you ask me what the most commonly used device in the office is, I might tell you it's a water dispenser. However, according to the latest research, the most important device is the printer. Yes, printers are more important than computers. Danwood conducted the above research and interviewed 1000 office workers, among whom 81% of respondents identified printers as their most important device, followed by pens (73%), staplers (71%), and PCs (70%).
Nearly half of the surveyed office workers (46%) stated that they use printers to print documents every day, and 80% of them said they need these printed documents to complete their work. The survey shows that reviewing, posting, distributing presentation materials, applying and reviewing, and labeling are key factors driving printing behavior.
A survey was conducted on the idea that humans waste resources and we should save everything, including paper. 73% of office workers said they are trying to reduce their dependence on printing. However, the survey also found that 28% of office workers engage in multi copy printing.
