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. (Lexmark Ipsos survey 2007) 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.
