On the average, each staff member used to print 5000 pages per year. In 2020 the average had fallen to approximately 900 pages per employee.
If individual printing figures exceed the average considerably, a meeting between the user and IT Services over printing practices may be in order.
The goal is to find ways to reduce paper consumption and increase the use of electronic tools.
Users can view their own printing balance using the client software installed on Metropolia workstations or at papercut.metropolia.fi.
