At MDS, we recognize that the increasing cost of paper and printer consumables is straining your budget. Add into this the amount of daily “waste” creates a very frustrating and environmental un-friendly situation for all! Print volumes are through the roof, and the wear and tear on equipment is nearly always greater than anticipated. Over the past few years, with the increase in demand for Campuses, Libraries and Corporate offices to provide On-Line Resources,; Printing Costs are going Right through the Roof! Much like Libraries have for Copying, most are now struggling with the same evolution with their network printing.

Print volumes continue to grow by 20% a year as technology becomes an integral part of the public library sphere. Internet browsing, research, and communication all rely on electronic transmission, and correspondingly, the need to print increases.

The paper waste generated by unmanaged print and copy facilities is enormous. Annually, 40-60% of printing is discarded because it is unnecessary.

By encouraging patrons to make informed decisions about what they print, the MDS print management solution saves you money and reduces paper waste. In most cases we have documented as much as a 50 % +/- Decrease in Costs!

Additionally, patrons benefit from streamlined delivery of print services, and ultimately, from the optimized environment that you can create once you better understand patterns of use.

Mobility & Laptops

Users with laptops are everywhere and they’re demanding services. Just look around you on campus or around your library. Driven by innovations in portable computing and in the classroom, a technology-focused lifestyle, and inexpensively, increasingly powerful and fun devices, laptops are now as essential as mobile phones. Students use laptops to take notes and write papers, to run a PowerPoint or Internet presentation during their classes, and to conduct instant Internet research. As a result, the need for wireless connectivity and support is greater than ever. As student and casual usage of mobile computing increases, so too does the need to provide them with cutting-edge services. Providing mobile laptop users with easy access to basic services such as printing is one of the biggest headaches for any IT department. Managing printer drivers on laptops is a nightmare and wireless network security is a huge concern.

Surf, Click & Print – its that easy with the MDS / Uniprint Solution! Whether your goal is to track and limit patron prints, or to charge per print, we offer a variety of solutions to cost-effectively satisfy your requirements.
