PrinterOn finds a huge increase in the number of pages printed by hotel guests over the past three months.

PrinterOn Corp. said hotel guests are increasingly taking advantage of in-room printing capabilities, and that it has seen a 300% increase in the number of printed pages by hotel guests using PrinterOn services in the past three months.

The PrinterOn service is offered to guests at 150 major North American brand hotels, including the Hilton Garden Inn, Hyatt, Radisson, Doubletree and Marriott.

"The number of guests using the printing service validates the increased need for guest printing,” said Steve Spicer, PrinterOn’s CEO and president. “PrinterOn expects the usage to increase exponentially in the coming year.”

PrinterOn’s driverless printing portal lets guests remotely print documents, e-mails and and Web content directly from their Internet-enabled laptops. A print job can be sent from a guest's room to a printer found in the hotel's business center. Guests simply open a browser and access the service using a hotel-branded Web site. Guests can pick up their documents or have the front desk deliver the documents to their room.

Separately, the company also announced that it has teamed with SuperClick to develop a way for hotels to charge guests for their print jobs.

PrinterOn teamed with Superclick to integrate tracking and billing of hotel guest printing activity. The combined service saves on costs, since no staff intervention is required, and enables hotels to adding print billing directly to a guest’s room bill.

"Hotels are always looking to increase guest satisfaction and reduce staff workload," said Ronald Fon, Superclick's CEO. "Integrating printing and Internet services billing into the Property Management System can turn both services into real profit centers for a hotel.”
