Perfect Output is the first in a category of printer features that HP will call HP Print AI. Yes, it's part of the AI marketing hype currently overwhelming tech users (don't shoot the messenger!). According to HP's Tuesday announcement, Perfect Output is supposed to make it easier to print things off of web browsers (like articles, travel documents, and tutorials) and spreadsheets in a cleaner, more natural-looking way.

One could use Perfect Output to quickly fix image sizes and remove ads and white space when printing something off a website, HP says as an example.

I made a commitment about four year ago to stop printing so much and move to iPad and keeping things digital. So far it's been great, have printed maybe less than 50 pages in those four years; if that. Do people really need to print things? Maybe I am naive but why don't we focus the next five years on printing LESS. A LOT less.

they could replicate their ink policies on to paper...the dearer it is to print the less people will do it
