Home Office Answers

   You know that feeling when you hit print from a web site and the printer starts spitting out page after page of advertisement photos, in multicolor of course.
I think my home office has wasted more paper and ink this way than any other.
I call this a green leak.  If you have this green leak too you can stop it with Green Print.

What is Green Print-
Green Print is a totally automatic (requires no action by you) print preview with easy to use tools to print what you what and not print what you don’t want. 

Walt Mossberg from the Wall Street Journal said
“GreenPrint is a good product - a simple solution to an annoying and wasteful problem.”

It detects and highlights unwanted content on pages before you print. Let’s you easily eliminate printing images on any page and it saves you from printing that one extra line of text that created a whole new page too.   

An often overlooked valuable feature in Green Print is the easy PDF converter. Did I say EASY!   You open the document you want to convert, select print. 

GREEN PRINT FACT: After you have installed green print as your default printer, selecting print from any application loads the document to the green print screen.  Remember it’s an automatic print preview.

Once the document is loaded you hit the pdf button and you are done.  This feature may save more paper than the print feature for me because it easily allows me to convert and email all my documents to friends and clients.  Using the PDF format greatly increases the chance of the document reaching the email recipient too.

Green Print World version is FREE and I highly recommend you try it.  If you are like me you’ll be back in a few days to upgrade.

When you install the FREE version be sure to take a couple of minutes and watch the tutorial video.  It is quick and helpful.

The Green Print Home Premium Version cost $35.00.  The advantages I notice with the Green Print Home Premium Version are the quicker load time, no advertisements and the biggest benefit, the license for commercial use.  Buying Green Print has saved me from having to purchase addition software to manage my PDF Conversions.

The one thing I wish they would improve is the upgrade process from the free version to the paid version.  They call it an upgrade but it really is a separate purchase.  You have to completely uninstall the free version and then reinstall the premium version.  Both installs and the uninstall take several minutes along with the time for the recommended restarts.
