Our Company
Engineering Focused | Start-Up Culture | Managed By Founding Developers | Driven By Geeks | Fuelled By Coffee
Founded by Chris and Matt in 1998, PaperCut first developed a print quota application to address a need in a local high school. From these small beginnings it's grown to a full print management package now used in over 100 countries and 50,000 sites across all markets.
Our focus is to produce innovative software that's easy to use and accessible to everyone. We're very proud of our engineering driven culture informed by close communications with our users (in fact many of our employees were customers first!).
PaperCut is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia and supported by a global network of resellers and partners. As a fast growing international company we now have presences in the USA and UK.
Enough from us, we'll let the customers tell the rest of the story.

I was looking for a print accounting package for Novell iPrint on OES Linux when I saw PaperCut and decided to
download the eval. I install a lot of software all the time and it has been a long time since I installed anything
that was so easy to set up, so well documented and so easy to use. Not only does PaperCut support OES Linux, we can
also run the application right on our iPrint cluster, eliminating the need for additional hardware. Support was
extremely helpful and responsive in answering any additional questions we had. PaperCut has all the features we
need and more, it took us all but 10 minutes to decide to purchase it.
