How much money can the average business user expect to save using ecoPrint?

If the average small business user consumes 10,000 sheets of paper per year and replaces their ink 5 times a year, their total printing costs would be $325. (1 cent per sheet= $100 for paper, and 5 ink replacements= $225 dollars for ink. Total $325). If the user reduced their ink usage by 50% and saved the amount of paper that they used by 30%, their potential savings could be $112.50 for ink plus another $24 for paper for a total of $136.50.

What is the benefit of using ecoPrint over a printer's ink saving feature?

First, ecoPrint is the only ink and paper reduction solution that works with any printer, inkjet and laser. Secondly, ecoPrint is easy to use--and to find--it is an extension of the regular print function. Third, unlike the draft settings from many printer companies (that actually use as much ink as quality mode), ecoPrint actually saves you ink, and the quantity of ink being used is adjustable by the user. Finally, using ecoPrint's conservation calculator, users can immediately see the ecological impact of their print settings allowing them to make adjustments to save ink, paper, money and the environment.

How does ecoPrint compete against other printing software programs?

In addition, ecoPrint offers more custom features, such as number of pages that can be printed on a single sheet, annotation tools and multiple page views.
