It's as easy to create a pdf as it is to print a document. 2. Email requires no ink, no paper, no envelope, no stamp, no trudge to the posting box, no postmen... 3.

That applies whether you print to paper or not. The content is the same. Like me, some of your customers may appreciate being able to e-file your invoice without having to scan it first! I generally send invoices by email and only produce them on paper if I am going to see my customer in the flesh when I can hand it to them.
