Cost Optimization · EcoPrint
Use less toner. Protect every CPP margin.
EcoPrint, an exclusive feature of the NDD Orbix platform, lowers print tonality across compatible PCL6 fleets to cut toner cost by up to 30% without compromising print quality — then shows the effect in Orbix dashboards.

What EcoPrint does
Control toner density without changing the document
A software layer that helps managed print providers reduce variable cost while keeping the user workflow familiar.
Configurable tonality
Set tonality reduction from 1% up to 60% by policy. EcoPrint adjusts density rather than removing document content or changing the font.
Fleet-wide remote control
Apply and manage settings centrally across compatible printers, without visiting every customer location or changing established print behavior.
Multi-brand operation
Work across existing PCL6 printer fleets, helping partners add the service without tying the customer to one hardware manufacturer.
Measured before and after
Use Orbix dashboards and reports to compare consumption, pages optimized and savings over time instead of relying on a generic percentage.
Printer-level insight
Identify which devices and models respond best, then refine policies around actual fleet performance.
No new user routine
Optimization runs within the print process, so users keep printing as normal while the provider manages policy and measurement.
Measure the outcome
Turn optimization into evidence
EcoPrint combines configurable toner-density reduction with measurement in NDD Orbix, so partners can discuss quality, savings and contract margin with evidence.
The commercial case
Savings in four connected layers
The value is wider than toner per page. A lower consumption rate can also reduce replacements and logistics while strengthening contract margin.
1
Lower toner consumption per page
Tune density to the document and service policy, then measure the result against the starting point.
2
Fewer cartridge replacements
Extend consumable life where the print profile allows it, reducing unnecessary replacement cycles.
3
Lower logistics pressure
Fewer replacements can mean fewer shipments, less handling and fewer urgent supply interventions.
4
Better CPP contract margins
In a cost-per-page contract, revenue per page is fixed while toner usage is variable. EcoPrint targets that variable cost.
Illustrative fleet model
What a 20% toner saving can be worth
Toner is the largest variable cost in a print contract. These two examples show how a 20% saving flows through to margin.
| Fleet size | Annual toner spend | Potential savings (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 printers | €120,000 | €24,000 |
| 2,000 printers | €480,000 | €96,000 |
| 5,000 printers | €1,200,000 | €240,000 |
| Metric | Without EcoPrint | With EcoPrint (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | €10,000 | €10,000 |
| Toner cost | €4,000 | €3,200 |
| Service & logistics | €3,000 | €3,000 |
| Gross margin | €3,000 (30%) | €3,800 (38%) |
Gross margin improvement: +26.7%, without increasing your customer's CPP pricing.
Illustrative model derived from NDD EcoPrint sales materials; no customer result is claimed. Actual savings depend on the fleet, the tonality setting and the document mix.
A credible sales conversation
Sell the measured result, not a blanket promise
Start with a baseline
Use current page volumes, consumable use and service cost to establish the existing CPP economics.
Pilot the right setting
Choose a tonality level that protects readability and quality for the customer's actual document mix.
Report what changed
Use before-and-after data to support renewal conversations, ESG reporting and a value-added service fee.
Illustrative CPP model · not a customer result
Model the opportunity with the fleet's own data
Start with the customer's actual page volumes, toner consumption and service costs. Pilot a suitable tonality setting, compare the result and use the measured difference to build the commercial case.

Keep the claim defensible
Present the measured outcome for that fleet instead of turning a configurable setting into a guaranteed savings percentage.
