There are several possibilities to lower the printing costs both in a business and home environment. From the most obvious “print less” to reducing the amount of print ink per paper to printing multiple pages on one sheet of paper.
Print management software programs like iPrint aid the organization and user in reducing the printing costs. The free application for the Windows operating system offers several smart ink saving techniques. This is achieved by installing iPrint as a virtual printer in Windows which acts as a proxy that is providing the print management features.
The iPrint interface is displayed whenever the virtual printer is selected to print a document in the operating system.
The print management software offers two options to lower the printing costs. The first option is to remove pages from the print job so that they are not printed when the processed document is send to the printer. The second option is to print more than one page on every sheet that gets printed. The user can change the print option from a single page per sheet that gets printed to two or four pages per sheet.
The number of saved pages is displayed in the footer of the application window. A click on the savings button displays a statistic that informs the user of the total number of pages that have been saved and the saved costs per page and the total savings.
IPrint can be helpful in lowering the printing costs. The only option that is missing is to change the amount of printer ink that is applied to each printout so that ink is saved as well. The software can be downloaded from the developer’s website. It is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. (via JKWebtalks)
