What GreenPrint Technologies does

GreenPrint Technologies is a privately held software company founded in 2005 by Hayden Hamilton and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with a wholly-owned subsidiary in Bengaluru, India. The company develops print management and optimization software that intercepts each document sent to a printer, analyzes it for typical waste signatures (URL-only pages, banner ads, logos, legal jargon, chain replies), and presents users with an interactive preview interface (Preview+) to remove unwanted pages or convert jobs to PDF before they print. Its product portfolio spans the GreenPrint Enterprise Suite — composed of three modules, Analytics (centralized print measurement and automated reporting), Advisor (printer routing by cost category with green/yellow/red labels), and Preview+ — plus a Home Premium consumer license at $19, a per-seat Business tier at $25 for 50-500 user offices, and custom-priced multi-year Enterprise contracts. The company also operates an OEM channel, bundling GreenPrint free with Xerox Solid Ink printers and distributing through Staples.

GreenPrint generates revenue primarily through one-time home licenses, per-license business subscriptions, recurring enterprise contracts, and OEM/channel licensing with Xerox and Staples. Its go-to-market combines a product-led model for individual users via a 30-day free trial and self-service download on printgreener.com with an enterprise field-sales motion targeting Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, plus embedded distribution via OEM bundling and Staples. Named customers include Staples, Prudential, 20Cube Logistics, City of Chicago, Marks & Spencer, and Xerox (as both partner and customer). Customer segments span consumers, SMBs (50-500 users), Fortune 500 enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions, addressed through a horizontal segmentation approach.

The company claims validated customer outcomes of 17-25% organizational print volume reduction, $80-$120 per-employee annual savings, and up to 30% savings through actionable print analytics; its technologies are hosted on Amazon EC2/S3 for the Analytics cloud component. GreenPrint has accumulated press coverage in the Wall Street Journal, CNN, CNBC, CNET, and Inc. Magazine since 2006 and was recognized by Gartner as a Cool New Vendor in 2007. The company has no disclosed institutional funding rounds and appears to operate as a self-funded, bootstrapped entity.

Core offering

GreenPrint Technologies develops and sells print management software that analyzes each page of a document sent to the printer, identifies wasteful content (URL-only pages, banner ads, legal jargon, chain replies), and gives users a preview interface to remove unwanted pages or create a PDF instead of printing. Its Enterprise Suite combines Analytics (consumption measurement and reporting), Advisor (redirect to lower-cost printers), and Preview+ (page removal/PDF) for organizations, with separate Home Premium and Business editions for consumers and SMBs.

Product overview

GreenPrint Technologies offers a multi-tiered print management software portfolio organized around the GreenPrint Enterprise Suite (comprising Analytics, Advisor, and Preview+ modules) for enterprise and business customers, and GreenPrint Home Premium for personal use. The core technology patent-pending analyzes each page of documents sent to printers to identify and eliminate wasteful pages (URL-only pages, banner ads, legal jargon, chain replies) before printing. The suite reduces organizational print volume by 17-25%, saves $80-$120 per employee annually, and is bundled with Xerox Solid Ink printers. The company also offers specialized versions for Staples customers and supports enterprise deployments with centralized analytics, automated reporting, and printer cost categorization.

Offers Blueprint, Imprint, and Omni system for secure printing, cost recovery, and print analytics, overlapping directly with GreenPrint Enterprise Suite.
