Going paperless will be hard. I know when it comes to books, I still prefer reading paperback but when it comes to business marketing, there's still value on postcards, business cards especially in networking events. Though I'm sure there will be an app for that sometime in the future or is there one already? From: http://www.eprintfast.com/

Yeah that's right that printing on paper is a surprisingly pricy endeavor ..Thanks for this nice post..
Most of the expense in printing comes from the ink and hidden costs. Though there’s a campaign to go paperless, there are still instances when printing is unavoidable as the move to electronic communication has not entirely cut printing. The best way, in my opinion, to drive down printing cost is to look at what and why you print before spending.
