 Control who can print in color


Marketing teams, graphics teams and publishing teams in your office may need color printing but finance and software development may not. You choose who can print in color.

Use the HP Web Jetadmin 10.X available as a free download, to centrally manage printers to allow or disallow color printing on any given printer. Access to color can be managed by user, application or time of day.

 Control who can copy in color


Not every color document needs to be copied in color and not everyone needs color copying capabilities. Limit who has access to color copying to further reduce unnecessary use of color without restricting it altogether.

in color
