RCW 43.19.742 requires the department to put in place rules and guidelines to improve the efficiency and minimize the costs of agency-based printing.

The requirements and definitions of this chapter are used by agencies in conjunction with the department's guidelines for managing print operations to:

(1) Improve efficiencies and minimize the costs of agency-based printing;

(2) Manage their printing operations, including both agency-based printing and those jobs that require services of a print shop; and

(3) Implement managed print strategies.

Additional requirements related to printing are found under RCW 43.19.733 through 43.19.757.
