GreenPrint is a simple idea, but it solves a problem nearly everyone can relate to: The ubiquitous wasted page. This is the page with just a URL, banner ad, legal disclaimer, etc. These wasted pages occur many times a day littering homes and offices around the world and wasting money, trees, and time. The GreenPrint Enterprise version was designed to address the volume and waste of network printing. It was created for organizations with multiple printers and works equally well in organizations of 10 or 10,000.
PDF and Save a Bundle. A lot of web documents are printed only because there is not an easy way to save documents in their web form (e.g. newspaper articles, receipts, etc). Saving text is simple enough, but documents such as receipts or newspaper articles which combine images and formatted text are not as straightforward. Recognizing this need, GreenPrint provides a one-click icon in Internet Explorer that saves web documents as a PDF file. This preserves the web format without wasting paper. This PDF writer is also incorporated into the print preview so any document can easily be saved to file (after eliminating wasted pages) rather than being printed. For most users, this will also eliminate the need to buy a separate PDF writer such as Adobe Acrobat which can retail for up to $499.
Track Your Impact. GreenPrint integrates a reporting function that allows users to easily monitor their printing habits in order to quantify the dollars, pages, greenhouse emissions and trees the software has saved. The Enterprise version allows an administrator to aggregate the results across the company, view numerous different metrics, and provides an overview that allows administrators to critically explore areas where further savings may be possible.
Halve the Recycle Bin. The Enterprise version also incorporates a Recycle Printer button. When the recycle button is pushed, the document is printed on paper which was previously printed on one side and discarded (waste paper). This is done by allowing the network administrator to designate printers or print trays as "Recycled" - these would then be filled with waste paper which would get one more use before being recycled.
Climate Change. If widely adopted, GreenPrint could have a meaningful impact on the reduction of greenhouse gasses. If the entire Fortune 500 adopted GreenPrint, CO2 emissions would be reduced by over 12 billion pounds - the equivalent of removing over a million cars from the road for an entire year.
A Win/Win Solution. GreenPrint is unique in that it saves time and money while benefiting the environment, rather than trading off cost reduction and environmental friendliness. We hope this win/win outcome will help to fundamentally shift the way businesses view green technology.
