Pay for Print and Copy

Print volumes continue to grow by 20% a year as technology becomes an integral part of the public library sphere. Internet browsing, research, and communication all rely on electronic transmission, and correspondingly the need to print increases.

The paper waste generated by unmanaged print and copy facilities is enormous. Annually, 40-60% of printing is discarded because it is unnecessary.

By encouraging patrons to make informed decisions about what they print, pay-for-print and copy control software saves you money and reduces paper waste.

Additionally, patrons benefit from streamlined delivery of print and copy services, and ultimately, from the optimized environment that you can create once you better understand patterns of use.
