Reducing School Printer Costs

How to Reduce School Printer Costs

Remember the days of receiving notices and tests at school that still had that fresh from the mimeograph machine smell to them? Those days may be behind us, but even in today’s digital age, schools still make a lot of copies.  

Those printouts are just now being made on multi-function laser printers and copiers instead of via mimeograph machine. So the mimeograph smell is reduced, but education printer costs remain on the uptick, adding quite a bit in revenue to a school’s budget. What can your school due for printer cost reduction? Read on!

Font Size Matters

Did you know that simply changing the font that you use for documents can reduce your printer costs? It’s true! A student in Pennsylvania noticed that he was receiving even more printouts in middle school than he did in elementary school, so he focused his school science fair project on ways to lessen the printer use and costs. In his research, he found that printing in Garamond is better for school printing as the font has thinner strokes. Just changing the utilized font to Garamond results in a reduction of ink consumption by 24% and saves a school as much as $21K annually. Simply amazing.

Make Printing Affordable

Printing and copying will always be necessary, but the high costs don’t have to be. When you choose HP PageWide printers and multifunction printers, you’ll enjoy healthier bottom lines thanks to single-pass technology that creates consistent, professional-quality color prints.
