Printer Monitor at Home or at Small Office
Posted on September 11th, 2008 in Computer spy software, Miscellaneous |
Small business owners with office equipment often have a hard time monitoring their use when they hire employees or have several people using the same computer equipment. One of the biggest complaints among business owners is that office supplies seem to be used up quickly and they have no way of controlling or monitoring where they go. Â
Printer supplies are always one of the biggest costs that a small company can have, and even families look for ways to cut down on their printing needs. If you own a small business and are looking for a better way to monitor the printing jobs that are talking place in the office, or are a parent that wants to keep track of what the kids are printing, you need to consider Inside Printer Monitor Software.Â
Inside Printer Monitor software allows small businesses to keep costs of jobs and costs related to all the print jobs that users in the office perform. The software works for computers that are attached to it, whether from one computer or several computers that are on the same network. Each computer and user has a separate ID which the software tracks with each print job.
In addition to helping you keep track of the costs that your office is spending on printing jobs, which may or may not be billed to clients, there are other benefits. The monitoring software can also help you cut down on extra print jobs that are being made in your office for items that are not work related. Paper and ink cost money, and when employees start taking advantage of the free printing supplies, those costs can add up faster than you realize. Parents with young children who like to use the printer on their own also find the Inside Printer Monitor useful in helping them keep track of exactly what is being printed and how often.

How right you are that printing supplies are a huge cost for small businesses and, when you want to print something formal - in color, or with lots of charts and graphs - you might not even have the right equipment.
Your readers might be interested to learn about a new online service soon to be launched which will give small businesses, or individual consumers, an easy way to shop around for the most convenient, best value print service provider wherever they are - even if they’re on the road.
The platform, called Earthtone (www.earthtone.net), works essentially the way Expedia works for the travel industry. Consumers can select from a wide range of options how they want their sophisticated print jobs to look, essentially putting it out for bid. In addition, unlike some online-only printing services, consumers can pick up their print jobs the same day they’re sent, and can even proof them in person before they’re sent to final print.
Our research shows that 94% of knowledge workers consider the printer to be essential office technology. But when the printer in your office is meeting your needs, or when you’re on the road and need to print something urgently, where do you turn?
We’d be interested in previewing the new platform with you to get your feedback prior to launch. If you’d be willing, please contact our publicists: earthtone@bando.com.
