Intelligent Color Print Management - On-the-fly

Color printing is much more expensive than printing in mono. Replacing color cartridges is very expensive. The cost of color print is also very high in Managed Print Service environments where the cost of color print can be 7x to 10x the cost of mono.  Therefore minimizing unnecessary color printing is critical to managing cost.  In most organizations, much of the color printing is unnecessary and can be avoided. 

OM Plus is an advanced print spooling solution that can minimize color printing and reduce cost with an intelligent, dynamic solution. Based on parameters set by the administrator OM Plus with its CD Plus option can seek out triggers found in the content of the print job.  These triggers can include combinations of text, title, user name, application name, system, printer, and many other factors. Based on these triggers OM Plus can identify unnecessary color documents. Once found OM Plus print spooler can revise settings to print color documents in mono, re-route the job to a mono device, or take other cost avoidance steps. OM Plus will perform these functions on a document by document basis – on the fly. This is all done behind the scenes without impacting the end user.

Using OM Plus’s advanced security system, authorized users may override the OM Plus change to mono print as needed. This gives the users a seamless, easy to use, intelligent system that can interrogate the entire print stream, identify just the unnecessary color jobs and convert them to mono. 

Customers who use this OM Plus solution save significant print expense.  The business cases are very predictable and reliable.
