As we are in the digital age, it’s easy to assume that the printed form is dead. Since we could access information quickly with a simple type or click of the mouse, it comes into question why we would still use printers in the first place. The answer is this: print is not dead and is still relevant in the age of technology. In a study conducted by Lexmark, they found that 8 out of 10 businesses around the world rely on printers to perform daily operations. 50% of them say that they cannot operate without a printer.

The study goes further into the average number of sheets each profession uses. The law field uses 240 pages per day; The automotive field uses 238 pages per day; The healthcare field uses 178 pages a day; Finally, Accounting and Finance use an average of 50 pages a day. While digital documents may be convenient, printed paper encourages longer attention spans as well as stronger working memory. To validate this claim, Lexmark placed 33 readers in a laboratory and had them read something on a screen and printed paper. When the results came back, 29 out of the 33 readers said that they learned more from the paper than the screens.
