Customer testimonials

• For some of our printers (the expensive dye
  sublimation ones, for instance), we charge for
  usage. ...(Print Manager Plus) helps us track
  usage and generate billing info. With the
  Software Shelf products, I am extremely
  satisfied. The products work as advertised and
  get the job done with little fuss. -- Harvard
  University
• "Our printing costs have increased significantly
  over the past four years... We anticipate that
  this solution may save us up to 10,000 per year
  in printing costs. This will allow us to put this
  money back into the lab..." -- Yale University
• "In an open academic environment printing costs
  can quickly spiral out of control. With Print
  Manager Plus, we have been able to curb our over-
  zealous users with a simple, cross-platform
  solution." -- UC Berkeley

Reviews

• Overall I found Print Manager Plus very easy to
  install and manage... for schools, Universities
  or facilities houses which charge for a service
  it could be a real boon. Recommendation is
  mandatory. PC Pro Magazine
• Businesses with runaway printing costs could
  certainly benefit from Print Manager Plus.
  Windows .NET Magazine
• Print Manager Plus is the perfect complement
  to Windows built-in printer management
  features... In larger organizations, the software
  licenses will tend to pay for themselves... as
  excessive printing is gradually reduced. Tech
