A national program collecting e-waste from consumers and businesses for free. The program is regulated under the Recycling and Waste Reduction Act. Canon, and other responsible brands, run TechCollect through their Australia New Zealand Recycling Platform (ANZRP). ANZRP leads the application of transparent and stringent health, safety and environment standards, increasingly investing in modern technology to improve the value of recycled material and it usability in making new products.
A voluntary scheme run by industry, in partnership with Planet Ark and Close the Loop, is a leader in take back and recovery programs and circular economy solutions. Ink and toner cartridges are collected from customers nationally, recycled with a 100% no waste-to-landfill guarantee, then transformed into new products, such as TonerPlas, an award-winning asphalt additive that extends the life of the asphalt roads.
Be kinder to the environment and save time, paper and money by printing on both sides of the paper. Many Canon Pixma printers are equipped with Auto Duplex Printing which helps speed up the process.
Avoid keeping your printer in dusty environments or placing it in the direct path of an air conditioner draft. This kind of exposure could dry the ink in the print head more quickly.
Save money and lessen cartridge waste with the optional high yield XL and XXL cartridges, which allow you to print more for less. It also means you can print for longer without having to purchase new cartridges.
Consider our MegaTank range of continuous ink printers. These printers use large ink bottle refills rather than ink cartridges for more efficient printing which could be a big cost saving in the long-term.
If you’re printing for just reference or review, consider using ‘Draft’ mode under the Printer Quality settings to save ink. Just remember to switch back to ‘Standard’ or ‘High’ mode when printing your final copy.
