Two hundred campuses rely on GoPrint to curb wasteful network printing

The pay-for-print solution stands alone or integrates with Blackboard, CBORD, Nuvision, more

Forty years ago, a new automobile cost about $3,500 and a printed page–at that time using a daisy wheel, dot matrix, or copying machine–cost about 10 to 15 cents. Today, the price of cars has more than quadrupled, but that same printed page of much higher quality–costs the same.
