Our print solutions boast some of the lowest power consumption rates in the industry and include environmentally friendly features such as motion sensor wake up, staple-less stapling and rules-based printing. They are simple and intuitive to use with robust security features to keep your information safe, leaving you to focus on teaching.
Managed Print Services
With tight budgets and environmental pressures to reduce printed documents, Managed Print Services (MPS) might not be top of your operational priorities, yet a robust MPS solution can actually help to resolve these issues.
Through streamlining your print fleet, eliminating unnecessary administration, and monitoring device performance, a managed print service can quickly deliver a reduction in print costs and wastage.
Your devices can be integrated with the following features:
- Print management software including PaperCut MF
- DMSA for schools that use SIMS software
- Production print software
- Cloud services and electronic document management
- Other technologies (such as our BIG PAD interactive displays)
Whatever your print needs are, we can work with you to achieve a greener, more affordable print strategy.
