Modern Office Methods Launches Green Print Assists local businesses in reducing energy consumption while realizing a cost savings   Cincinnati, OH, October 8, 2009 – Modern Office Methods (“MOM”) launches Green Print, its environmental initiative focused on combating the carbon footprint the business community has on the environment. The Cincinnati-based office equipment dealer recently held its first Green Print luncheon, introducing clients to hardware and software solutions that save money, conserve energy and reduce waste.     “Offices use paper, produce waste and expend energy,” said Kevin McCarthy, president and CEO of MOM. “The nature of MOM’s business puts us in a unique position to assist organizations in improving operational efficiency on a number of levels; all with little expense or effort.”    According to the Hamilton County Climate Initiative’s Green Guide for Businesses, buildings in the U.S. account for 72 percent of electricity consumption and 39 percent of energy use. MOM’s technology partners offer Energy Star-rated equipment that optimizes power consumption and can go from energy-saving mode to full operation in less than 15 seconds. MOM also offers software solutions and managed print services to ensure that an office’s equipment infrastructure and capabilities are aligned with its needs.    The first luncheon in the Green Print series was held at Longaberger Alumni House at The Ohio State University. More than 25 businesses were on hand to learn tips and options for “greening” an office. Attendees also received information on the capabilities and feasibility of bringing expensive print jobs in-house.    “Our Green Print program was developed after MOM’s internal examination at what our company could be doing better to reduce our impact on the environment,” McCarthy continued. “After we saw what we could accomplish, and at a cost savings, it just made sense for us to work with our clients and challenge them to become more aware of their impact on the environment.”   Visit www.momnet.com to read more about its Green Print initiatives, including the popular Pure Water Technology® and copier toner recycling program.   About Modern Office Methods Modern Office Methods is a document solutions provider, combining superior service with state-of-the-art technology and equipment to help organizations reduce costs and improve productivity.
