PaperCut is now tracking millions of users in more than 60 countries. Here's what a few have to say:

"It does a great job, is easy to use, has given us no problems, and has saved us countless reams of paper and piles of toner."
Eric, Utah State University - USA
"Well done on producing the best print charging solution I have used! PaperCut is fast, reliable and easy to manage. The advanced charging options provide excellent flexibility and the web administration interface is the icing on the cake."
Adrian, Jesus College, Cambridge University - UK
"I've gotta say PaperCut is great and I've been singing its praises to other departments. The reports quickly show me printer usage at a glance, which I use frequently to more accurately place orders for toner and paper. I used to throw thousands of pages into the recycling bin every day because of unclaimed printouts, but overnight it's been whittled down to a couple reams! Aside from the money saved on toner/paper, I stand to save thousands reducing the number of lab attendants since these TopUp cards can be sold by our department receptionist or in one of our vending areas. I no longer need technical staff to supervise printing full time!"
David, Case Western Reserve University - USA
"PaperCut NG is a fantastic product for non-profit organizations. It brings the control we need to reduce print and internet costs with along with ease of setup and administration. As a former manger in a document management company - I am recommending this product to my peers."
Dr. Buckley, NewHope Community Church - New Zealand
"We have used several products over the last 9 years to manage our student printing, but always had to compromise on the features to get the best product for our budget. PaperCut NG is easily the most cost effective with its low price and enterprise standard features that you would find on products costing thousands. We recoup the cost of printing, and can use features such as price reductions on the cost of duplex printing to encourage more environmentally friendly usage.
"PaperCut NG adds a completely new and intuitive web interface to the product which allows for support staff to check and manage the printers from any computer on the network. With the setup wizard, you can have a fully deployed print quota system in less than 5 minutes!
"The reports allow students to view their print history easily and support staff can use it to view the busiest printers (along with many other reports). We can now sell top-up cards in the shop and bar so that students can add print credit themselves.
"Finally, when we have had problems and questions, the support has been nothing short of excellent. Nothing was too big or small and the developers work with you to find the solution to your complete satisfaction. In short, an excellent product from an excellent company - my only complaint is that we didn't find it sooner..."
Tristan, Cranfield University - UK
"Our College has been using PaperCut since mid September, last year. We've found it to be an excellent replacement for another trouble prone print charging product. PaperCut is clean, efficient and very easy to use and install. PaperCut doesn't suffer from memory-leaks and random crashes like our previous system."
Robbo, Hobart College - Australia
"PaperCut NG is a tremendous product. I researched other companies and PaperCut stands out as the best. We perform a silent monitoring in the Fall semester 2005 and actually ran PaperCut NG in the following Spring semester 2006. The results show PaperCut NG is effective. In one lab, we went from using 9 toner cartridges in the Fall to 4 toner cartridges in the Spring. Each toner cartridge cost $152, we had a savings in that lab alone of $760 on toner cartridges.
"Fall semester the top 10 students who printed the most, had a total of 44,342 prints. The following Spring semester, the top 10 students had a total of 7,320 prints. Printing went down 83.5%. Paper cost for the entire college went down 29%. We set a limit for the students to have 357 prints in for Spring semester. After they used up their $25 credit or 357 prints they would have to purchase a Top-UP card. We also used Top-UP cards and sold them in increments of $1, $5, and $10. We sold 107 cards. Our Spring semester we earned $535 from our Top-UP cards."
Trevis, Stark State College - USA
"PaperCut NG really has made a big difference to our college. Both on ease of use and also to financial savings we have been able to make, on toner and paper wastage. We have experienced cost reductions of approx. 48%. The functionality of the users ability to transfer funds to other accounts, all from a web page means it's simple and straight forward, for both users and admins. A great bit of software with regular relevant updates!"
Alvin, East Antrim Institute of Further and Higher Education - Northern Ireland
"We have a network for about 60 students. We replaced 2 printers in our student computer lab last year and spent hundreds of francs on consumables. We tried everything to recoup costs from an honor system deposit box to quarterly fees built into usage cost. None worked. Since installing Papercut, we have been able to recover ALL of our printing costs and build more accountability that has dramatically reduced wasted paper usage. And the printers don't get abused all the time!
"I continue to be shocked at the usability and simplicity of Papercut. It has the ability to control so much, yet the program is so simple. The daily administration is almost non-existent. By using the Top-Up card feature, we sell prepaid cards in our snack bar and the students credit their accounts via the web interface themselves. It is truly an "auto-pilot" program.
"Kudos for a product well designed! I highly recommend anyone to this program."
Matt, University of the Nations, Lausanne, Switzerland
"Thanks to your marvellous product we have saved over £300 pounds in the last month on people doing unauthorised printing. Your great support during our testing phase ensured an already straightforward deployment was achieved with the greatest of ease."
Nic, The Wessex Reserve Forces and Cadets Association - UK
"PaperCut tech support is phenomenal! The support staff has always been friendly, helpful and quick to respond. We run a complicated operation that covers 27 printers, 5 sites, 5 print servers and over 1000 users. PaperCut staff helped us configure, troubleshoot and fine-tune our installation. Thanks to their help, we have been able to maximize the value of this product to save hundreds of dollars!
"The first day it was installed it stopped a 1000 page erroneous print job to a remote network printer. Since then, our costs have plummeted. This is one of the best technology investments we have made!"
Thomas, Manteno CUSD #5 - USA
"PaperCut seamlessly took control of our recently purchased HP Laserjet 2100 printer. It was extremely easy to add users. I have already seen that the students are becoming more responsible fitting more work onto a single sheet by using columns, a smaller font, and changing the margins; they are learning to do better word-processing..."
Aaron, Strathmore College - Kenya
"We have been using PaperCut for since 1999 and have cut our toner and paper usage in half. The user enquiry tool encourages the students to be economical and responsible in the printer use. Waste bins near the printer are almost empty. We have found PaperCut very easy to set up and maintain for our 1000+ users. With the account creation rules and auto scheduling, PaperCut effectively manages itself."
John, Parkdale Secondary College - Australia
"PaperCut is a wonderfully useful piece of software! It has drastically cut the amount of paper in the recycle bin. Students are much more responsible about their printing. PaperCut forces them to be more conservative about the use of resources. Considerably more thought now goes into the decision to click the printer icon."
George, Claggett Creek Middle School - USA
"We initally evaluated a range of products. PaperCut did everything we needed at the most competitive price. Three years on there's no looking back. All upgrades have been implemented without any problems. The word "PaperCut" is now part of the College vocabulary and students now have access to printers 24 hours a day, all thanks to PaperCut."
Jonathan Palmer, College of African Wildlife Management - Tanzania
"Since moving over to PaperCut Quota in January 2006, administration and management of the system could not have been easier or simpler. It has greatly reduced administration time as students are able to check up and top up their own print quota. With the upgrade to PaperCut NG this year, ease of management is further enhanced with the administration console now accessible via a web interface. Staff can now manage the system from any workstation connected to the College network. The new reports available in NG will be very usefuly for printer management and planning/budgeting purposes.
"Technical excellence in the software itself is well complemented by your technical support team. The College has been most impressed with the level of service we have experienced in the past 18 months."
Sylvania, The University of Melbourne - St. Hilda's College, Australia
"PaperCut is a fantastic piece of software. Setup is very easy, and it works really well, with tons of useful features, I love that it integrates with Active Directory. The technical support is top notch, response time was very fast and they worked with me to solve my issue. I would recommend this product and this company to anyone."
Chris, Iowa State University - USA
"I've used PaperCut at several of my primary schools over the last few years. It has performed extremely well, doing its job as promised.
"At Somerville Rise Primary School, Teachers and their grade are allocated a certain amount for the year ($20 for grade, $80 for the teacher). If the grade runs out early, the Teacher can elect to transfer some of their money to their grade so they can keep printing. This works, as it encourages the teacher to teach their class to be careful about printing.
"From low-end to high-end servers, on any flavour of Windows, PaperCut just runs - no interruptions, no memory hogging, and no crashing.. PaperCut Quota is well designed, and well written software.
"Great support from the developers, e-mails promptly answered, and always able to offer assistance on the rare occasion that I actually need it! Keep up the good work!"
Rohan Beckett - Somerville Rise Primary School - Australia
"This is a great program, simple to use and robust. I have recommended it to a number of other schools, both public and private."
Paul, Keithcot Farm PS & Wynn Vale PS - Tasmania, Australia
"I was looking for a while for the product that will cut the printing cost and at the same time will fit in a sub $1000 range. Here it is! PaperCut does the great job, easy installation and minimum of configurations makes it even more attractive. Would definitely recommended."
Michael, P S L Group - UK
"This is an outstanding product which I have recommended to other colleagues in educational computing. Congratulations on your achievement - it's saving us a lot of money in consumables."
John, Kingston High School - Australia
"PaperCut has proved invaluable to the school. It is very easy to use and has cut down our use of paper dramatically. Its many options and friendly interface makes it a joy to work with. I would recommend it any school."
Christopher, Colchester Royal Grammar School - UK
"We have been very happy with the software - works beautifully and has some great features for tracking printing of students. Our computer tech and I are both very pleased with its performance"
Michael, Maryborough SHS - Australia
"Our college has tried other packages to handle excessive waste printing by students and while they worked the interface was clumsy and difficult or just too costly, we discovered Papercut in 2000 and found it to be the easiest and most effective product to handle this for us. The interface is very intuitive and the ability to remote update accounts for printing credits allows us to basically set and forget.
"Our college effectively halved the cost of printing in the first year. Now students are responsible for their printing and Internet usage.
"On the occasional times I have contacted support for assistance or for suggestions I have found them to be relatively quick with a response and the suggestions actually actioned where possible.
"I cannot recommend this product more highly. Thanks guy's for a great product."
Phillip, Beaconhills College - Victoria Australia
"The PE Technikon is a Technical University and the George Campus is a satellite campus located 330 kilometres away from the Main Campus. We have approximately 1000 students. The situation in 2002 was that students made use of 4 after-hours computer labs and needed to print. The Student Council paid for the ink and the students provided their own paper.
"This caused two major problems. The Student Council had a limited budget and because there was no control of the ink usage, some students received maximum benefits while others constantly found the printers to be out of ink. Also, because students provided their own paper, we found that students used all sorts of paper in the printer, believe it or not wrapping paper has been found jammed in the printers. The printers were constantly having to be serviced due to paper jams and other abuse.
"I conducted a search on the Internet and came across PaperCut. With some creative accounting and the assistance of PaperCut management, I was able to purchase the Papercut quota system. I tested the system until December 2002 and then implemented Papercut on our Windows network. The Main Server is located at our Saasveld site with a secondary server installed at our second site 15 kilometres away.
"The system has now been running for six months and what a difference! Total costs so far are only 30% of what it was last year for paper and ink. Not one of the student printers has had to be serviced this year. I have seen that the students are becoming more responsible and economical in their printer use.
"I would definitely recommend the PaperCut Quota system to any school or University. It is easy to use AND manage. Thanks to Papercut Biz for a great product."
Garth, Section Head: Computer Services, PE Technikon - South Africa
"I am very impressed with the attitude of the PaperCut personnel. I especially appreciate the dedicated customer service we receive. With PaperCut, customers are not treated like a number. Open dialog with the engineers is actually encouraged. They are always open to suggestions and give every one careful consideration. I wish all companies treated their customers like PaperCut Software."
Thomas, Manteno CUSD #5 - USA
"Just a quick comment to congratulate you on the new PaperCut version 5.1. It seems to be a big improvement on the version 4. I was particularly impressed by the clarity of the user documentation. It was very easy to follow and the program installed without a hitch!"
Nick, Schools Technician, Cheltenham Sub Cluster - Australia
