CleverPrint Review: Features, Pricing, and Pros & Cons

How CleverPrint Cuts Printing Costs — A Step-by-Step Guide

1) Preview and remove unnecessary pages

• Use CleverPrint’s print-preview to inspect the full job before printing.
• Delete blank pages, ads, or irrelevant pages to avoid waste.

2) Combine and rearrange documents

• Merge multiple documents or print jobs into a single job so related content prints together.
• Rearrange pages to pack content efficiently and eliminate duplicate prints.

3) Print multiple pages per sheet (N-up)

• Select 2-up, 4-up, or 8-up layouts to print several pages on one sheet, reducing paper use by the same factor.
• Use booklet mode to create folded/stapled booklets that compress multi-page documents.

4) Remove or reduce graphics and images

• Enable the “remove graphics” or “image filter” option to strip nonessential images from documents.
• Use the ink-saver/brightness adjustment to reduce toner usage while keeping text legible.

5) Duplex and layout optimization

• Force duplex (double-sided) printing where supported to halve paper consumption.
• Adjust margins, scale, and font sizes modestly to fit more content per page.

6) Convert to digital instead of printing

• Save print jobs as PDF, PNG, or JPG when physical copies aren’t required.
• Archive or email the generated files to share instead of printing.

7) Reuse letterheads and watermarks efficiently

• Store and apply reusable letterheads and watermarks to avoid reprinting originals and ensure consistent single-pass prints.

8) Archive and reprint control

• Save common print job templates to reuse without reprocessing source files.
• Cancel or edit queued jobs via the CleverPrint job manager to prevent accidental large runs.

9) Track savings and set policies

• Use built-in cost/resource counters (paper, ink, CO2, energy) to quantify savings and encourage eco-friendly habits.
• Set team or office defaults (N-up, duplex, ink-saver) to enforce low-cost printing across users.

Quick implementation checklist

1. Set CleverPrint as default printer.
2. Enable print-preview and ink-saver by default.
3. Default to duplex + 2-up (or 4-up for long text).
4. Train users to delete unwanted pages and save as PDF when possible.
5. Monitor the savings dashboard and adjust defaults after one month.

Result: applying these steps typically reduces paper and ink use substantially—vendors cite up to ~50% savings depending on workflows—while lowering costs and environmental impact.
