Now or never - Green Printing & Future


While green IT is mostly about bigger technologies, there are also small tools that can help a business, or even a consumer, to be more efficient and more green.

Nowadays, the average daily web user prints 28 pages daily, as a result 115 billion sheets of paper are used annually for personal computers. All these result in the high paper usage as a result cut of trees. For instance, the average American uses 18 cubic feet of wood and 749 pounds of paper - equal to a
100-foot tree with an 18-inch trunk. Each year and taking account that each tree provides enough oxygen for 3 people, we are literally "printing away the oxygen" of our children.

Most people consider that these facts are huge threat but they can not do anything to stop it, but indeed you can. Green Printing (GP) provides you opportunity to be the "superman" of the future.

GreenPrint is a software that helps you identify and eliminate print waste before it is printed, thereby dramatically reducing print volume as well as associated costs. In addition, this gadget measures print volume for both on- and off-network printers, identifies cost savings opportunities and enables better print management over time. Besides, GP enables you to use low cost printer options, so at the same time you can get both ecological and financial benefits .

If you are on the "right" side , then watch the link bellow and start printing greener:


Even a simple software solution like this can provide value to a company. Most notably, costs are being saved by reducing paper waste. This is breakthrough innovation on a remarkably simple level.

The benefits are clear: save costs and save time. You do not have to waste time trying to think how many pages you can save by printing double paged or which page you can skip because it is just advertising. This is done by the software automatically. As a result, less paper waste and costs saved there. This certainly helps the environment more than adding a "please consider the environment before printing" message at the bottom of every email.

This technology does not have any implementation problems, as shown in the video. It has a problem though. It does not get rid of the actual problem of people still printing.
Nevertheless, GreenPrint is a great technology that deserves its rightful spot in the world of green IT. Download and start using it!
