06 May Papercut Print Management Software for Wide Format Printers

Yes, its not as commonly known but PaperCut print management solutions are compatible for most brands and models of large format printer.

PaperCut is actively used in the professional markets such as graphic design, engineering and education organisations with Arts/Graphics departments. Hence supporting wide format devices is an important requirement. Popular devices we find our customers using Papercut software on are Canon, Epson, HP and Rowe.

How Papercut software works with a large format printer?

If your workplace owns or leases a plotter it is likely to be switched on or used daily, but many companies are unaware of who has used it and what documents are being printed. Without sufficient management we often find that customers are not only going purchasing copious amounts of ink – leading to huge and unnecessary costs to their business. We have also found that customers with no management system in place, pose greater risks to document security as some end users are guilty of leaving their print outs in the catcher tray and forgetting to collect them.
