Still Watching Paper and Money Go to Waste?

Still Watching Paper and Money Go to Waste?

You’ve gone digital, embraced hybrid work, and invested in cloud tools—but your print volumes are still higher than they should be. Sound familiar? Uncontrolled printing isn’t just bad for the environment—it’s quietly draining your budget, one unnecessary page at a time.

Cut the Waste, Not the Productivity

Reducing print usage doesn’t mean stopping printing altogether. It means printing smarter. That’s where PaperCut Hive comes in. It’s a cloud-based print management solution that helps you automate, monitor, and control your print environment—without slowing anyone down.

And when paired with energy-efficient, cost-effective hardware from Lexmark and Konica Minolta, you get a complete solution that’s good for your business and the planet.

How PaperCut Hive Helps You Print Less (and Save More)

Automation That Works for You

• Print policies: Automatically enforce double-sided printing, grayscale defaults, or job routing to the most efficient device.

• Secure print release: Prevent accidental or forgotten prints by requiring authentication at the printer.

• Idle job deletion: Automatically delete uncollected print jobs after a set time—no more wasted paper.

Real-Time Monitoring & Insights

• User-level tracking: See who’s printing what, when, and how often.

• Departmental reporting: Identify high-usage areas and adjust policies accordingly.

• Environmental dashboards: Visualise your carbon savings and paper reduction over time.

Tools That Nudge Better Habits

• Friendly pop-ups: Remind users to print responsibly before they hit “Print.”

• Quota systems: Set monthly limits to encourage mindful printing.

• Print job previews: Let users double-check before they print—cutting down on mistakes and reprints.
