print greener: waste less money and trees
So mebbe y’all stopped printing a long time ago (as many of us did), yet we’re all still sharing docs and some of these get printed, and…
Sheesh, when do the trees get some releaf?
Actually, Hayden Hamilton, a young former Ford exec, got the bright idea for a GreenPrint package that includes a print monitor (so you can track what you’re actually printing), a convert-to-pdf thang, and a green font (via tech chronicles).
Say wot? Right, a green font…by which this small startup in Portland, OR means putting more words on each page without hurting readability.
Yeah! Here’s one #10 purchase that can save mebbe 20% of whatever paper you’re going through.
The green print software has some nifty bells and whistles, like the ability to right-click in print preview and strip out all the images, or delete blank of questionable pages from the print queue.
Prolly getting some traction now on their startup sales projections, since Inc. put them in the cover story last week.
And, hey, let’s fact it, our paper usage still represents a colossal waste, and this gizmo could represent huge savings.
Go get ‘em!
Oh, and, special mahalo to Andy Kass for flaggin’ dakine!
