print x2 or print and photocopy?

Hi there,

I am printing about 1000-2000 pages of documents. Do you think it is wise to print these once and then photocopy from thereon, or print twice?

ie - which is more economical and friendlier to the environment - printing or photocopying?

I'll be using a duplex laser printer.

    it has always been a case in the past that photocopying is far cheaper and more eco friendly, but today and now I don't know, at a guess I would say print one copy and photocopy the rest would be more eco friendly (assuming you already have the photocopier and your not just buying one to photocopy this one time :p)
