At a cost of just  69, the new release, called SilentPrint Office, is intended toplug the home and small business batch printing market, which other versions ofSilentPrint did not necessarily address.
 We have found SilentPrint becoming increasingly popular with the home market whichtends to use it for batch printing digital photographs, states Mark Williams,Marketing Coordinator for FunAsset.  Small businesses, that do not necessarily printthe same volume of documents as larger organisations or those involved in productionprinting, have also seen the benefit of using SilentPrint but have been unable tojustify spending  249 - even though, over a short time, it will save them much moremoney than this!Â
The changes made to SilentPrint Office when compared to other versions are in themain based around how quickly documents are processed.The PLUS functionality found in SilentPrint Office PLUS, Pro and Server enablesanother document to be processed as soon as the Windows Print Spooler has finishedspooling the previous one. This functionality, as the name suggests, is unavailableto SilentPrint Office which instead waits until the previous document has physicallyprinted before processing the next.
Mark continues: Â It appears most home and small business users are not too concernedabout how quickly a batch of documents is printed but are more interested inremoving the hassle and the time they waste manually printing each one. Byintroducing SilentPrint Office we are able to satisfy the low volume batch printingmarket at a price that is affordable even to individuals.Â
Despite the reduction in speed when compared to other versions, SilentPrint Officecan still batch print documents far more quickly than using a manual process. Notonly that, any number of documents can be  thrown at it and the supported filetypes remain the same as SilentPrint Office PLUS.
Other changes evident in the new release are a reduction in the number of Watchedfolder to printer combinations (Tasks) (now two) and the absence of the LoadBalancing feature.
 Most homes and small businesses only have one or two printers so most of the 20Tasks available with SilentPrint Office PLUS are redundant, comments Mark. Furthermore, the Load Balancing feature which has proved popular with medium andhigh volume users is not present for the same reason. With SilentPrint Office, thehome and small business user can benefit from simple and intuitive batch printingbut no longer has to  pay for features and functionality they are unlikely to use.Â
