Testimonials...
PaperCut is now tracking millions of users
in more than 60 countries. Here's what a few have
to say:
 |
"It does a great job,
is easy to use, has given us no problems,
and has saved us countless reams of paper
and piles of toner."
Eric, Utah State University
- USA
|
 |
"Well done on producing the best
print charging solution I have used! PaperCut
is fast, reliable and easy to manage. The
advanced charging options provide excellent
flexibility and the web administration interface
is the icing on the cake."
Adrian, Jesus College, Cambridge
University - UK

"I've gotta say PaperCut is great
and I've been singing its praises to other
departments. The reports quickly show me
printer usage at a glance, which I use frequently
to more accurately place orders for toner
and paper. I used to throw thousands of pages
into the recycling bin every day because
of unclaimed printouts, but overnight its
been whittled down to a couple reams! Aside
from the money saved on toner/paper, I stand
to save thousands reducing the number of
lab attendants since these TopUp cards can
be sold by our department receptionist or
in one of our vending areas. I no longer
need technical staff to supervise printing
full time!"

"We have used several products over
the last 9 years to manage our student printing,
but always had to compromise on the features
to get the best product for our budget. PaperCut
NG is easily the most cost effective with
its low price and enterprise standard features
that you would find on products costing thousands.
We recoup the cost of printing, and can use
features such as price reductions on the
cost of duplex printing to encourage more
environmentally friendly usage.
"PaperCut NG adds a completely new
and intuitive web interface to the product
which allows for support staff to check
and manage the printers from any computer
on the network. With the setup wizard,
you can have a fully deployed print quota
system in less than 5 minutes!
"The reports allow students to view
their print history easily and support staff
can use it to view the busiest printers (along
with many other reports). We can now sell
top-up cards in the shop and bar so that
students can add print credit themselves.
"Finally, when we have had problems
and questions, the support has been nothing
short of excellent. Nothing was too big or
small and the developers work with you to
find the solution to your complete satisfaction.
In short, an excellent product from an excellent
company - my only complaint is that we didn't
find it sooner..."
Tristan, Cranfield University

"Our College has been using PaperCut
since mid September, last year. We've found
it to be an excellent replacement for another
trouble prone print charging product. PaperCut
is clean, efficient and very easy to use
and install. PaperCut doesn't suffer from
memory-leaks and random crashes like our
previous system."
Robbo, Hobart College -

"PaperCut NG is a tremendous product.
I researched other companies and PaperCut
stands out as the best. We perform a silent
monitoring in the Fall semester 2005 and
actually ran PaperCut NG in the following
Spring semester 2006. The results show PaperCut
NG is effective. In one lab, we went from
using 9 toner cartridges in the Fall to 4
toner cartridges in the Spring. Each toner
cartridge cost $152, we had a savings in
that lab alone of $760 on toner cartridges.
"Fall semester the top 10 students
who printed the most, had a total of 44,342
prints. The following Spring semester,
the top 10 students had a total of 7,320
prints. Printing went down 83.5%. Paper
cost for the entire college went down 29%.
We set a limit for the students to have
357 prints in for Spring semester. After
they used up their $25 credit or 357 prints
they would have to purchase a Top-UP card.
We also used Top-UP cards and sold them
in increments of $1, $5, and $10. We sold
107 cards. Our Spring semester we earned
$535 from our Top-UP cards."
Trevis, Stark State College

"PaperCut NG really has made a big
difference to our college. Both on ease of
use and also to financial savings we have
been able to make, on toner and paper wastage.
We have experienced cost reductions of approx.
48%. The functionality of the users ability
to transfer funds to other accounts, all
from a web page means it's simple and straight
forward, for both users and admins. A great
bit of software with regular relevant updates!"
Alvin, East Antrim Institute
of Further and Higher Education - Northern
Ireland

"We have a network for about 60 students.
We replaced 2 printers in our student computer
lab last year and spent hundreds of francs
on consumables. We tried everything to recoup
costs from an honor system deposit box to
quarterly fees built into usage cost. None
worked. Since installing Papercut, we have
been able to recover ALL of our printing
costs and build more accountability that
has dramatically reduced wasted paper usage.
And the printers don't get abused all the
time!
"I continue to be shocked at the usability
and simplicity of Papercut. It has the ability
to control so much, yet the program is so simple.
The daily administration is almost non-existent.
By using the Top-Up card feature, we sell prepaid
cards in our snack bar and the students credit
their accounts via the web interface themselves.
It is truly an "auto-pilot" program.
"Kudos for a product well designed! I
highly recommend anyone to this program."
Matt, University of the
Nations, Lausanne, Switzerland

"Thanks to your marvellous product
we have saved over £300 pounds in the
last month on people doing unauthorised printing.
Your great support during our testing phase
ensured an already straightforward deployment
was achieved with the greatest of ease."

"PaperCut tech support is phenomenal!
The support staff has always been friendly,
helpful and quick to respond. We run a complicated
operation that covers 27 printers, 5 sites,
5 print servers and over 1000 users. PaperCut
staff helped us configure, troubleshoot and
fine-tune our installation. Thanks to their
help, we have been able to maximize the value
of this product to save hundreds of dollars!
"The first day it was installed it stopped
a 1000 page erroneous print job to a remote
network printer. Since then, our costs have
plummeted. This is one of the best technology
investments we have made!"

PaperCut seamlessly took control of our
recently purchased HP Laserjet 2100 printer.
It was extremely easy to add users. I have
already seen that the students are becoming
more responsible fitting more work onto a
single sheet by using columns, a smaller
font, and changing the margins; they are
learning to do better word-processing..."
Aaron, Strathmore College

"We have been using PaperCut for
since 1999 and have cut our toner and paper
usage in half. The user enquiry tool encourages
the students to be economical and responsible
in the printer use. Waste bins near the printer
are almost empty. We have found PaperCut
very easy to set up and maintain for our
1000+ users. With the account creation rules
and auto scheduling, PaperCut effectively
manages itself."
John, Parkdale Secondary
College - Australia

"PaperCut is a wonderfully useful
piece of software! It has drastically cut
the amount of paper in the recycle bin. Students
are much more responsible about their printing.
PaperCut forces them to be more conservative
about the use of resources. Considerably
more thought now goes into the decision to
click the printer icon."
George, Claggett Creek Middle
School - USA

"We initally evaluated a range of
products. PaperCut did everything we needed
at the most competitive price. Three years
on there's no looking back. All upgrades
have been implemented without any problems.
The word "PaperCut" is now part
of the College vocabulary and students now
have access to printers 24 hours a day, all
thanks to PaperCut."
Jonathan Palmer, College

"PaperCut is a fantastic piece of
software. Setup is very easy, and it works
really well, with tons of useful features,
I love that it integrates with Active Directory.
The technical support is top notch, response
time was very fast and they worked with me
to solve my issue. I would recommend this
product and this company to anyone."

"I've used PaperCut at several of
my primary schools over the last few years.
It has performed extremely well, doing its
job as promised.
"At Somerville Rise Primary School, Teachers
and their grade are allocated a certain amount
for the year ($20 for grade, $80 for the teacher).
If the grade runs out early, the Teacher can
elect to transfer some of their money to their
grade so they can keep printing. This works,
as it encourages the teacher to teach their
class to be careful about printing.
"From low-end to high-end servers, on
any flavour of Windows, PaperCut just runs
- no interruptions, no memory hogging, and
no crashing.. PaperCut Quota is well designed,
and well written software.
"Great support from the developers, e-mails
promptly answered, and always able to offer
assistance on the rare occasion that I actually
need it! Keep up the good work!"
Rohan Beckett - Somerville

"This is a great program, simple
to use and robust. I have recommended it
to a number of other schools, both public
and private."

"I was looking for a while for the
product that will cut the printing cost and
at the same time will fit in a sub $1000
range. Here it is! PaperCut does the great
job, easy installation and minimum of configurations
makes it even more attractive. Would definitely
recommended."
Michael, P S L Group - UK

"This is an outstanding product which
I have recommended to other colleagues in
educational computing. Congratulations on
your achievement - it's saving us a lot of
money in consumables."
John, Kingston High School

"PaperCut has proved invaluable to
the school. It is very easy to use and has
cut down our use of paper dramatically. Its
many options and friendly interface makes
it a joy to work with. I would recommend
it any school."
Christopher, Colchester
Royal Grammar School - UK

"We have been very happy with the
software - works beautifully and has some
great features for tracking printing of students.
Our computer tech and I are both very pleased
with its performance"
Michael, Maryborough SHS

"Our college has tried other packages
to handle excessive waste printing by students
and while they worked the interface was clumsy
and difficult or just too costly, we discovered
Papercut in 2000 and found it to be the easiest
and most effective product to handle this
for us. The interface is very intuitive and
the ability to remote update accounts for
printing credits allows us to basically set
and forget.
"Our college effectively halved the cost
of printing in the first year. Now students
are responsible for their printing and Internet
usage.
"On the occasional times I have contacted
support for assistance or for suggestions I
have found them to be relatively quick with
a response and the suggestions actually actioned
where possible.
"I cannot recommend this product more
highly. Thanks guy's for a great product. "

"The PE Technikon is a Technical
University and the George Campus is a satellite
campus located 330 kilometres away from the
Main Campus. We have approximately 1000 students.
The situation in 2002 was that students made
use of 4 after-hours computer labs and needed
to print. The Student Council paid for the
ink and the students provided their own paper.
This caused two major problems. The Student
Council had a limited budget and because there
was no control of the ink usage, some students
received maximum benefits while others constantly
found the printers to be out of ink. Also,
because students provided their own paper,
we found that students used all sorts of paper
in the printer, believe it or not wrapping
paper has been found jammed in the printers.
The printers were constantly having to be serviced
due to paper jams and other abuse.
I conducted a search on the Internet and came
across PaperCut. With some creative accounting
and the assistance of PaperCut management,
I was able to purchase the Papercut quota system.
I tested the system until December 2002 and
then implemented Papercut on our Windows network.
The Main Server is located at our Saasveld
site with a secondary server installed at our
second site 15 kilometres away.
The system has now been running for six months
and what a difference! Total costs so far are
only 30% of what it was last year for paper
and ink. Not one of the student printers has
had to be serviced this year. I have seen that
the students are becoming more responsible
and economical in their printer use.
I would definitely recommend the PaperCut Quota
system to any school or University. It is easy
to use AND manage. Thanks to Papercut Biz for
a great product. "

Services, PE Technikon - South Africa

"I am very impressed with the attitude
of the PaperCut personnel. I especially appreciate
the dedicated customer service we receive.
With PaperCut, customers are not treated
like a number. Open dialog with the engineers
is actually encouraged. They are always open
to suggestions and give every one careful
consideration. I wish all companies treated
their customers like PaperCut Software."
Thomas, Manteno CUSD #5

"Just a quick comment to congratulate
you on the new PaperCut version 5.1. It seems
to be a big improvement on the version 4.
I was particularly impressed by the clarity
of the user documentation. It was very easy
to follow and the program installed without
a hitch!"
