Thread print from Outlook
Friday 26th August '11
The need for organisations to reduce print and consolidate costs is more pressing than ever. With email printing often the main print output of an organisation the ability to control this can significantly affect print costs.
Innovative Kappris development in email printing .
Kappris has developed a print driver that can do this through the management of email printing, and in particular by allowing the user to control which emails they wish to print.
This thread printing allows the user to select parts of an email to print rather than a whole conversation. Crucially this means that the user can choose to print only the most recent email, eliminating the pages that would otherwise have been printed. When printing emails the individual printing will often simply want the latest email in the conversation for reference, however the basic print options within Outlook will not allow the user to do this. Kappris print driver gives the user control over the number of email printed by selecting only the latest in the thread for print. This prevents a great deal of wasted paper and toner while ensuring that file copies or copies for reference can be maintained.
A key issue when printing emails is the vast number of legal disclaimers that are found at the foot of every email in a conversation. These footers add a considerable amount onto an email thread when printing and significantly impact on the number of pages printed resulting in substantial waste. Using Kappris print driver allows the thread of emails to be separated so that the user can print only the parts they wish to print.
Thread printing will enable your organisation to realise real reductions in print output, helping to create an environment in which users change their print behaviour. Kappris print driver ensures that users maintain control over the way they print through constructing a system whereby email threads are split into separate parts for print. This will result in fewer wasted print pages and give positive results for an organisations environmental policy.
