Students can use a lot of paper, whether they are printing out multiple drafts of research papers or surfing the web. Pcounter enables academic sites to eliminate print waste completely. It can be used in a pay-as-you-print scheme, or students can be granted a limited amount of pages each semester. Some sites allow students to print as much as they want to, and add the cost to their tuition bill.

The print volume and cost have increased dramatically over the last few years, both due to the increased use of the internet and due to the increased use of computers in general.

The increased print cost creates important problems at many institutions around the world, and the solution is many times very expensive mainly because combined hardware/software solutions is chosen.
