GreenPrint Addressing Printing Waste in the Workplace


LONDON, September 18 /PRNewswire/ --     GreenPrint Technologies, LLC, the maker of GreenPrint software that
eliminates wasteful printing, launches in the UK with IT Energy, a UK-based
VAR providing carbon saving solutions for IT.

With a growing demand in business to adopt green recycling waste
strategies, GreenPrint assists by reducing paper, ink, and toner wastage in
the home and office environment. Users can quickly eliminate wasteful pages
in print jobs manually or automatically, saving time and money while also
saving trees, reducing greenhouse gasses, and decreasing waste.

- An average UK office worker prints 38 pages per day, which at 232
working days per annum is 8,816 pages annually.

- On average 29% is wasteful printing, resulting in 2,556 pages per year
of unnecessary paper waste.

- For every user in your organisation, these unnecessary pages account
for the waste of 61.34 KG CO2 and 142 kWh of energy.

In a recent review, Walter Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal called
GreenPrint, "A good product, a simple solution to an annoying and wasteful
problem."

GreenPrint's software analyses each page of any document sent to the
printer, identifying typical waste characteristics, such as the last page on
a web page printout with just a URL or a company signature from an email.
Users can even opt to remove unwanted images from their print jobs, offering
huge savings in terms of ink and toner. The program presents its analysis in
a clear easy to manipulate print preview called GreenView, allowing users to
quickly confirm and/or adjust exactly what gets printed.

Adding further value, GreenPrint also includes an easy to use PDF writer
encouraging an overall reduction in printing, a Recycle Printer, and an
extensive reporting feature which keeps track of the number of pages, trees,
and money saved across its deployed base.

Matt Crane, Managing Director of IT Energy says, "We're finding many
organisations are trying to reduce their cost per printed page with multi
functional devices or simply redirecting print jobs to more efficient
printers. GreenPrint provides further financial savings to this whilst at the
same time reinforcing corporate environmental messaging to staff"

"We are incredibly excited about our partnership with IT Energy," said
Hayden Hamilton, GreenPrint Founder & CEO. "We've received a great deal of
interest from the UK market. As our goal is to make the use of GreenPrint as
widespread as possible, we see IT Energy - with its existing relationships
with other green technology vendors - as an ideal partner to help us achieve
that goal. "
