GreenPrint, Xerox Solid Ink Printers get together

Two companies I've blogged about this year have come together in a partnership that apparently is designed to help Xerox owners print less! Buyers of Xerox's Phaser 8560 and 8860 printer/all-in-one solid ink jet color products will be entitled to a free download of the popular GreenPrint software, which actually makes perfect sense combined with the strong Xerox (NYSE XRX) "Green" message.

GreenPrint introduces TreeMail

In honor of this year's Earth Day, GreenPrint has announced (see iPaper window below) "TreeMail" , a series of signatures for emails that are designed to convince readers to think twice before printing. Readers may recall last month's post about a similar email signature message I'd been seeing. (See "Please Consider the Environment" .) GreenPrint has gone an interesting step further with a tracking/linking connection, at least for users of Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, and Yahoo Mail.
