Large printers have several paper trays. This is used by some offices to re-use paper already printed on one side. The problem comes when you aren't sure what side of the resulting print you should be reading.
The Green Recycle Stamp automatically stamps the pre-printed side with a big green "Recycled"
stamp, ending this confusion.

Sounds reasonable and efficient to me.
You could simplify it further by just having
an inky wheel that marked the reverse of
the page as it left the tray. |
|

Good idea(+), but how does it know when you are recycling and when you are using preprinted paper? |
|
| |
The recycled paper goes in a different
feeder tray. The stamp (or the inky printy
wheel) would only mark pages as they left
that tray. |

hey, where u been? World - honey! ;) |
|

Ah. Just as well, as I can seldom give a
definitive answer regarding my recent
whereabouts. |
|
| |
Almost certainly. Very little point in
denying it, at any rate. I've found from
bitter experience that denying things leads
to immediate suspicion, whereas a stout
and cheery confirmation sows a seed of
doubt in the mind of the interlocutor. |

I may have to review this policy when they
release me. |

If you get out first, tell Mickey the Fish that
Jonny Two-Legs has his spatula, and that
Ricey Bob had nothing to do with that
business involving Nicholas the Florist. |

This is OK, if you don’t leave it up to the guy who always puts the paper in upside-down, you end up with Recycled Stamps on both sides, and you have to cross out the bad stamp, and you cross out the wrong one by mistake, and no matter how much I apologize, everyone’s still mad. |

I'll buy that. Green it is. |
|
| |
[po] I'm here. Just not very often (damn real world keeps getting in the way). |
|
| |
...stamping all that paper "Recycled". |
|
| |
Red ink costs over seven times as much to
produce as green ink, and its production
has a much larger environmental footprint. |
|
| |
Not so popular with the shareholders, either.... |
|
| |
Most printer manufacturers recommend you not run already-printed-upon paper through the fuser again. |
|
| |
I always felt it was the printer manufs. in big-paper's pockets. |
|

It might be easiest to rig one of those letter-sprayers to the machine and just write "recycled" in green ink, instead of using a stamp. The sprayers put lettering on cables--I'll see if I can find a link. |
|
| |
What's wrong with just an inky wheel at
the point where the paper passes out of
the tray? |

If you'd paid more attention to Billy Ocean when you were young you wouldn't have made that mistake. |
