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.
Many schools do not realise the total cost of ownership (TCO) for their printing equipment. Beyond the initial purchase, ongoing expenses include:
Additionally, slow or outdated printing devices waste valuable staff time.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.
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:
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.
Choosing an MPS for schools offers several advantages, including:
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.
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.
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.
Schools are becoming more aware of their environmental impact. An MPS encourages greener printing practices by lowering paper waste, energy use, and unnecessary printing.
An MPS takes the pressure off internal IT teams by offering dedicated support for printer maintenance, troubleshooting, and print management solutions.
