Green Printing

There's a new free edition of the popular GreenPrint software, called GreenPrint World Edition. The software, aimed at home users and non-profits, is designed to combat printing waste. The way the software works is by analyzing each page sent to a printer for extraneous content like banner ads, legal jargon, footnotes, or other unnecessary pages. These sections are highlighted in red for you to see before printing. If you want to print a page or section that has been detected as unnecessary, just double-click on it to include it in the document. You can also double-click on areas that are un-highlighted to prevent them from printing. According to the company, using GreenPrint can save you $90 per year and 1400 wasted pages. The software can also be used to create PDFs and it does reporting on the toner and paper savings you've accumulated by using it. GreenPrint World Edition is free by being ad-supported; to turn off the ads, you can upgrade to Home Premium Edition or for business use, there's an Enterprise Edition available. (via downloadsquad)

Moo MiniCards

Posted By: Larry Larsen | Sep 14th, 2007 @ 4:20 PM
What if it were easy to have printed 100 business card-sized miniature calling cards, all with different pictures on one side and some text on the other side, for a relatively inexpensive price of say, $20. You'd probably think of more than a few uses for that, right?

That's what Moo allows you to do with their MiniCards service. You can browse their designs or use your own, even pulling your photos from Flickr or several other online services, crop, add up to 6 lines of text on the reverse, and the next thing you know you've got a box of custom cards in your mailbox.
