Pay for Print and Copy

Print volumes continue to grow by 20% a year as technology becomes embedded in the learning process. Course delivery and completion, 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.
