Another Lancashire School Saving Money on Their Printing Costs

Today marks another success story for schools across Lancashire looking to reduce operational expenses while improving the quality and reliability of their print environment. Our engineering team has successfully installed a new managed print service for a local school—this time involving three high‑performance 60ppm photocopiers designed to deliver faster, more efficient, and more secure printing.

✅ A Modern Print Solution Built for Education

Schools depend on fast, reliable printing to keep classrooms running smoothly. From worksheets to letters home, the ability to print quickly and securely is essential. The newly installed fleet of 60 pages‑per‑minute multifunction photocopiers provides:

• High‑speed printing for busy school days
• Secure print release, protecting sensitive staff and student documents
• Scan‑to‑email functionality, enabling efficient digital workflows
• Reduced environmental impact thanks to more efficient devices

This upgrade equips staff with the tools they need, while ensuring the school keeps costs under control.

✅ Proven Cost Savings From Day One

The school was previously tied into a costly print setup with ageing devices, unpredictable toner usage, and rising maintenance expenses. By moving to our managed print service, the school now benefits from:

📉 Lower Monthly Lease Costs

Modernising the device fleet allowed the school to reduce its monthly leasing fees, freeing up valuable budget for other priorities.

🖨️ Reduced Printing & Toner Costs

More efficient hardware and optimised settings—such as duplex printing and print‑management controls—have already started bringing down overall print volumes and consumable usage.

🛠️ Fewer Breakdowns & Faster Support

Newer devices mean fewer faults, plus proactive remote monitoring helps resolve issues before they impact teaching time.

✅ Enhanced Security & Digital Workflow

With the rise of digital safeguarding requirements, secure printing has become essential. The new system uses PIN‑release printing, preventing documents from being left uncollected on output trays. Staff can also scan directly to email, making it easier to share documents, reduce paper use, and support remote or hybrid learning.

✅ A Growing Trend Across Lancashire Schools

This installation is part of a wider movement among Lancashire schools adopting managed print services to:

• Cut costs
• Improve print quality
• Reduce downtime
• Support sustainability goals
• Gain full visibility of printing habits

And the results are consistent: better performance at a lower cost.
