Tel Aviv, Israel, July 21, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Preton Ltd. announced today with pride that it has been awarded a global green label for meeting strict rules promoting environment conservation.

The network sets out the requirements; software will be required to meet in order to be licensed for the green label. The requirements include environmental criteria as well as product characteristics. Testing and other means, to be used to verify conformance with the criteria and product characteristics, are also pre defined and need to be met.
Label Objective
The aim of the environmental criteria FOR computer software, PretonSaver TM had to meet is to:
Maximize energy efficiency and reduce the consumption of natural resources
Reduce the use of environmentally harmful substances
Promote improved durability and recyclability
Minimize waste through systematic management approaches
“We put in a lot of effort to maintain an environmentally conscious product and to continuously improve its added value and potential. Each tree we are able to save puts a big smile on our faces”. Says Mr. Ori Eizenberg, Preton’S CEO.

Composed of 2 revolutionary techniques (Pixel Optimizer TM & Elements Identifier TM) PretonSaverTM products identify wasteful pixels & delete them, the space left filled by excess toner or ink from adjacent pixels. The different elements on the page (text, pictures and graphics) are attributed a different savings level as to keep each of their required quality. This sophisticated combination of techniques enables the print of a high quality mixed element document with maximum savings applied per element and not per page as a whole. Management of printing rules allows for even more ways to monitor and prevent excess and unnecessary printing using quotas, regulations predefined across a network and advanced printer settings.
PretonSaver TM is successfully sold to medium and large sized organizations around the world. Its customer base includes well established clients such as banks, government offices and international companies. PretonSaver TM is used by hundreds of thousands of users every day, reducing costs of printing, saving money and the environment.
The environment
GHG emissions caused by manufacturing a single mono toner cartridge have been calculated to approximately 4.8 Kg of CO2. Furthermore, during the complete life cycle of a ton of office paper, the equivalent of 6.3 tons of CO2 will be emitted into the air. The Evergreen PretonSaverTM software helps reduce all that damage and cut down on the printing industry’s carbon footprint.
“We are proud to be a part of a joint global effort to save the planet, while cutting down on high printing costs. We will continue to do our very best to come up with new and improved products as we have always done,” said Mr. Ori Eizenberg, CEO of Preton Ltd.
