Your users print documents with almost no color on them — a logo, one hyperlink, a signature — and you're billed for a full color page every time. Printercept examines every job before it prints, and stops that.
Trusted by IT & finance teams at 400+ organizations
Printers don't charge by how much color you use — only whether you used any. A single blue hyperlink costs the same as a photograph. Across an organization, that rounding error becomes a line item nobody can see.
A lightweight Windows agent does the work. No new print servers, no driver rollouts, no change to how people print.
Printercept measures the percentage of color in every print job before it is printed — locally, in milliseconds, with no user friction.
When color content falls below your organization’s threshold, the agent tells the user before the higher color cost is incurred.
The user switches to black and white in one click — or keeps color when it genuinely matters. Either way, the decision is recorded.
Stopping one unnecessary color page is the demo. Controlling spend across a fleet is the product.
Measure exactly how much of each page is color, not just whether color exists — then set the threshold where prompting kicks in.
Attribute every page to a person, team, and cost center. Answer "who printed what" in seconds.
Turn usage into invoices. Set per-page rates for color and grayscale and generate department-ready reports on demand.
Trends, budgets, alerts, and leaderboards. Slice by user, device, document type, or date range.
A lightweight agent installs silently across your fleet via GPO, Intune, or your RMM — and works with your existing printers.
Role-based access, SSO/SAML, quotas, and privacy policies. Metadata only — document contents never leave the device.
Slice usage by user, department, device, or document type. Set thresholds and budgets, export chargeback-ready reports, and prove the reduction month over month.
Deploy in minutes, keep existing printers, and stop chasing "who printed 900 pages?" tickets.
Attribute every dollar, bill departments accurately, and forecast print spend with confidence.
Give each student or staff member a print quota and keep lab and library color costs in check.
