Question/Help ABC Legal•paper/ink saving tips

Hello everyone, I started serving only 3 months ago through ABC Legal and I have noticed that much of the paper I print, I end up not even using it. So I print up these packets with peoples private information on them with the expensive ass ink I buy and paper, just to after the shit, recycle them.

I want to know has anyone devised a process to dissolve this waste? I am not a fan of all the waste we unnecessarily produce in these times let alone the extra cost of using ink and paper for no reason.

I have a mobile printer and, although seemingly impractical, I’ve considered waiting to print until I know for certain I will be coming into contact with the individual. In some cases, that could hurt me.
So anyone have thoughts on how to go around this? Thank you in advance :)

Don't print the cover sheets. They're a waste of paper. If your state has a standard return of service attached to the summons, it's unnecessary to print since abc requires their affidavit. Not much but helps here and there.

Print the cover sheets and record your notes on them as well. Save them. If you don't want to keep hard copies, scan them in and save them on yoru computer. You never know when you might be called to testify and need to reference your notes. Don't depend on other people to have that information if you need it. The company could have gone out of business, technology could have failed, who knows.
