Manage Your School’s Printing Setup
Technology plays a key role in education by making tasks easier, improving problem-solving, and preparing students for future careers. However, setting up and maintaining printing systems can be expensive. UK schools spend nearly £900 million on education technology each year, with medium-sized schools setting aside about £400,000 for these costs.
Despite these investments, many schools struggle with wasteful printing habits. Research shows that some schools spend up to £200,000 over five years on copying documents, using about one million sheets of paper per school annually.
These costs highlight the need for affordable printing solutions that create an efficient print setup while keeping expenses low.
Breaking Down Printing Costs in Schools
Many schools do not realise the total cost of ownership (TCO) for their printing equipment. Beyond the initial purchase, ongoing expenses include:
- Ink or toner replacements
- Paper usage
- Regular maintenance and repairs
- Energy bills
- Replacing old parts
Additionally, slow or outdated printing devices waste valuable staff time. Studies show that around 23% of IT helpdesk requests relate to printing problems, meaning IT teams spend nearly a quarter of their time fixing printer issues instead of focusing on bigger IT projects.
The solution? Partner with a managed print service (MPS) for schools to optimise printing setups, boost efficiency, and reduce costs.
What Is a Managed Print Service for Schools?
A Managed Print Service (MPS) is a complete service designed to lower printing costs, improve document workflows, and create a budget-friendly print system. At Vitale Digital, our MPS solutions include:
- Tracking print usage to find wasteful habits
- Automating supply restocks to prevent shortages
- Reducing energy use for a more eco-friendly approach
- Enhancing print security with login-based access
- Providing on-site and remote support to ease IT workload
By outsourcing print management to Vitale Digital, your school can free up time for teachers and staff, allowing them to focus on improving student learning.
The Benefits of a Managed Print Service
Choosing an MPS for schools offers several advantages, including:
1. Lower Costs
An MPS helps schools cut costs by monitoring print usage and reducing unnecessary printing. By using smart printing strategies, schools can save money while keeping print quality high.
Stronger Print Security
Protecting student and staff data is essential. An MPS adds user authentication and secure printing to ensure sensitive documents are only accessed by authorized personnel.
Better Efficiency & Productivity
Faster print speeds, optimised print volumes, and improved workflows mean staff spend less time dealing with printing issues. Saving time on printing tasks allows staff to focus on education.
Eco-Friendly Printing
Schools are becoming more aware of their environmental impact. An MPS encourages greener printing practices by lowering paper waste, energy use, and unnecessary printing.
Hassle-Free Print Support
An MPS takes the pressure off internal IT teams by offering dedicated support for printer maintenance, troubleshooting, and print management solutions.
Choosing the Right Printing Setup for Your School
When selecting a printing system for your school, consider:
- Print volumes: How much printing is required daily?
- Print speeds: Do staff and students need fast processing times?
- Print devices: Do you need standalone printers, all-in-one machines, or a mix?
- Print security: How will you protect confidential documents?
- Cost-cutting measures: How can you lower printing costs without reducing quality?
At Vitale Digital, we evaluate your school’s needs and suggest the most affordable and efficient printing setups to improve your print environment.
