Managing print consumption in the enterprise represents a huge savings opportunity. But it can be very challenging. Departments and users have different print habits and needs, print devices have different capabilities and cost profiles. GreenPrint offers a suite of software solutions that help you tackle print costs with a phased, measurable and verifiable approach for every part of your organization.
GreenPrint preView+
GreenPrint Analytics is a powerful tool that measures print volume for both on- and off-network printers, identifies cost savings opportunities and enables better print management over time.
GreenPrint Advisor uses a simple color coding system to help your users identify low cost printer options. Advisor then gently guides them to shift print volume to those devices whenever possible.
GreenPrint preView+ is a unique interactive print preview that helps your users identify and eliminate print waste before it is printed, dramatically reducing print volume and associated cost.
Note: GreenPrint Analytics is offered as a stand-alone product offering or as part of a bundle with GreenPrint Advisor and GreenPrint preView+.

GreenPrint Advisor
Guide Users to Your Lowest Cost Printers
Have you ever asked your employees to print to low cost printers, only to find that a week or two later they are back to their old bad habits? GreenPrint is well aware of this challenge, and has addressed this issue with the introduction of GreenPrint Advisor.
Advisor is a low touch, intuitive interface that quickly GUIDES users to your lowest cost or most desirable printers (prior to printing) with communication that is as easy to understand as a traffic light:
- Green is a good low cost printer to use
- Yellow might not be the best printer choice
- Red is a high cost printer that should only be used if business conditions dictate
Advisor Provides an Array of Smart Print Options
Advisor is fast and requires minimal user interaction. Advisor’s key benefits include:
- Drives awareness of print costs
- Saves $$ by guiding users to low cost printers
- Reinforces good print habits
- Provides optional path to waste reduction through preView+

Full Integration with GreenPrint Analytics and preView+
Advisor is an option that is fully integrated with GreenPrint Analytics. Print per page cost data is imported into Advisor from the administrative console, and allows you to easily group printers by similar cost attributes into the Green, Yellow, and Redcategories described above. Analytics accurately tracks and measures print volume and associated costs for each of the color coded categories. Reports can be generated for your entire organization, for groups or departments, or even for individual users.
Advisor also provides a simple, optional path for users to interact with GreenPrint preView+, which allows users to identify print waste and eliminate it BEFORE it goes to the printer.

Eliminating wasted pages at the printer can only be done by providing the right tool at the PC. After all, each of us is responsible for creating our own print jobs and ultimately for sending them to the printer. All too often, those print jobs have unnecessary content ranging from whole pages to select images or pieces of text. Frequently, we aren’t even aware that the waste is present, like printing from the internet and getting that annoying extra page with just a url or a few lines of unnecessary text. But just as frequently, we print unnecessary content because we are in a hurry, because there’s no good way to get rid of stuff we don’t need, or simply because we’re lazy. Whatever the reasons for print waste, one thing is certain: your organization is paying for it, and so is the environment.
preView+ Helps Users Deal with their Own Print Waste
GreenPrint preView+ is an option that helps your end-users identify and eliminate print waste before it is printed, dramatically reducing print volume and associated costs! preView+ makes it fast and easy for your employees to see what they are about to print, confirm that it is what they want, and to quickly eliminate any unwanted or unnecessary content. preView+ is an optional tool that users invoke how and when they see fit.
