UniPrint Infinity Reducing the Cost of Printing

The price of a printer is a one-time cost, but the constant replenishment of ink, toner and paper is a cost you cannot avoid. It is estimated that the average employee uses 10,000 sheets of paper per year. A study conducted by Lexmark found that an average of 17% of printed pages were considered unnecessary .

This means on average 1700 printed pages for a single user are considered waste each year. Companies of all sizes and industries are feeling the pressure to streamline their operations in order to reduce costs and at the same time meet the demand of corporate social responsibility.

Included with UniPrint Infinity are a number of standard features that can be used to accomplish both environmental and cost-saving goals by focusing on reducing printing waste.

Print Analytics – Statistics & Archiving

The Statistics and Archiving feature allows print data and actual PDF copies of print jobs to be archived into a database.

There are five print reports you can create:
1. Print Job Activity Report
2. User Activity Summary Report
3. Day of Week Usage Report
4. Top N User Report
5. User Costing Summary Report

Key Benefits

Create reports detailing printing trends across your network
Cost data for budgeting departments or eliminating under-used printers
User tracking and security monitoring
Archive copies of print jobs in easy to use PDF-format for security or regulatory compliance
Monitor the who, what, where, and when information of printed pages
Optimize your print infrastructure and assess what resources are being wasted

Custom Printer Profiles

Allows administrators to create “rule based” printing such as duplexing and monochrome printing for certain user groups or departments to save printing costs. In addition, the creation of custom profiles allows for advanced, printer specific features such as stapling and hole punching to be utilized.

Key Benefits

Create default printer profiles with settings such as low DPI, black & white, and duplex to encourage eco-friendlier printing
Research has shown that by printing duplex and black & white, organizations can save up to 40% of their printing costs

Secure Pull Printing

Secure pull printing allows users to send their print jobs to UniPrint Infinity‘s Virtual Print Queue (VPQ) or one single print queue.

This eliminates the constant need for administrators to map different printers to different user profiles.

Print jobs are pulled from the VPQ and released by a vPad Pro print appliance, the UniPrint Vault App, or VPQ Connectors for Multi-Function Printers.

Key Benefits

Reduce printing waste and cost
Improve workflow and efficiency
Reduce the amount of print-related helpdesk calls
Improve security by ensuring printers follow users

“Printing secure documents with UniPrint couldn’t be any easier. All you do is wave your smartcard in front of the vPad, enter your four digit PIN code and your documents will automatically print.”
