If you\u2019re reading this you\u2019re most likely at a crossroads with printing for your business. You\u2019re then most likely asking yourself, \u201cThere must be better ways to print today?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That line of questioning will lead you to ask if there are better ways to cut costs, better ways to keep your team safe, better ways for your workplace to be more flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all that in mind, what if you knew that one PaperCut feature does more than help you save costs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What if a PaperCut feature alone saved literally billions of pages from being printed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Want to know how? Then let\u2019s talk about PaperCut\u2019s Hold\/Release feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hold\/Release usage scenarios<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n PaperCut has a vast array of features that implement a hold\/release queue. There is an entire manual on these implementations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what does Hold\/Release do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Essentially, a hold\/release queue has vital sustainable and security benefits. A lot of paper waste in workplaces is just forgotten documents. Or even accidentally printed documents. Whether you didn\u2019t mean to hit CTRL+P or forgot that you did, that paper ends up in the bin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The various hold\/release functions introduce a middle-point before that wastage can occur. Documents don\u2019t just print out automatically, they need to be authenticated and released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It goes deeper than holding and releasing pages. Depending on your restrictions and limitations, your paper saving efforts can be multiplied. Setting up auto-convert to grayscale means you\u2019re saving on toner and ink cartridges and saving more precious resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stop, data time!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n But we know why you\u2019re here. You want the numbers. Let\u2019s roll up our sleeves and play with some data!<\/p>\n\n\n\n PaperCut hosts a cavalcade of paper-saving features, but the humble, quiet-achiever that is Hold\/Release has literally saved billions of pages from being released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It just happens that 3.41 billion<\/strong> sheets have been held on PaperCut\u2019s customers\u2019 print servers, but only 1.06 billion<\/strong> have been released (around 2.37 billion sheets, to be semi-precise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s a LOT of print jobs that never actually released, because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, how many trees is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, if we divide that exact figure of 2,37 billion<\/strong> sheets by Tom Soder\u2019s University of Maine study, we\u2019ll get an estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A word of caution, this will be an estimate only, same as Soder\u2019s initial formula. However, the good news is it\u2019s a conservative estimate. At the very least, we have a pretty solid baseline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soder calculated that 1 tree (approximately) makes 8,333.3 sheets of paper. So if we divide our 2,337,000,000 <\/strong>sheets by 8,333.3 we get\u2026 280,451 trees saved<\/strong> by one measly PaperCut feature!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re ready to learn more about Papercut<\/strong> and how it can help you, get in touch with ecoprintQ<\/strong> at sales@ecoprintq.com<\/a> or 1-800-236-8499<\/strong>.
