Saving Money and the Planet: Print Audit’s Impressive PrintReleaf Integration
Saving money is important to any business, and saving on print output is one of the most immediate ways to do that. As the winner of countless awards, Print Audit understands this better than anyone. For the better part of 20 years, the company has been helping equipment dealers grow their business with tools that help organizations lower the cost of document output. Never one to stop growing, however, Print Audit recently announced an exciting venture: integration with PrintReleaf, the leader in setting a global standard for sustainable paper consumption.
In this issue, we profile 10 young influencers—all 40 years of age and under—from various segments of the industry who are making significant contributions to the imaging channel. Some of these individuals have been in the industry for more than a decade, others only a couple of years. Yet, a common thread unites them all—they are young, driven, and standouts in their own organizations and the channel.

When I first learned about PrintReleaf a little over two years ago, my reaction was: "What a great idea. I wonder how they came up with it?" Founder and CEO Jordan Darragh explained that it was really the nexus of two separate career paths that inspired the idea. He had worked in the energy industry for several years, helping utilities develop clean energy programs and reduce carbon emissions. But before that he had worked in the imaging industry for a decade.
