For over a decade Managed Print UK has been helping Schools, Colleges, Universities and other Public Sector organisations streamline their printing and save thousands on print costs.
Our experience in providing Education and Public Sector organisations with managed print solutions gives us the knowledge and skills needed to recommend and implement the right solution for you.
From small primary schools to the largest technology colleges and universities, we carefully consider the individual needs and requirements of every solution we provide.
Having a print strategy in place can benefit any organisation however big or small. We have customers with only one printer who have saved thousands of pounds a year by speaking to us.
My department understands the importance of managed print, but the rest of the organisation.
Education and Public Sector is governed by budgets and often delay investigating new technologies as a result of budget limitations. The high cost of a non-managed print environment is often a strong contributing factor to existing budget limitations. A new print solution does not have mean large capital outlays. The capital cost of the print solution is often spread over 5 years and the immediate savings in supplies, service, paper and energy consumption warrant the immediate go ahead of a managed print solution.
As with most businesses, the print environment within schools, colleges and universities has normally grown organically. This means there was no specific print strategy in place for the purchase of new printers and copiers. As a result, most educational establishments have multiple printer brands and multiple suppliers of service and supplies for these.
Normally, there was little thought about the running costs of these devices when they were purchased and most would only come with a 1 year warranty, leading to additional service costs as the printers aged.
Managing a fleet of multi-brand printers and copiers is not only difficult, it is also much more expensive and far less environmentally friendly than operating a fully managed print infrastructure.
Cost Savings
Our managed print solution will save your school anywhere between 30-70% on your existing print costs.

We see this quite regularly across all sectors, and yes we are very happy to work with you on this. Although the ideal managed print solution encompasses a whole organisation, quite often we get requests from individual departments within organisations to have their own managed print agreement. This is down to a number of reasons, normally departmental budgets, but we are very happy to cater for this. Our solutions are also always scalable and these single departmental installations regularly lead to the rest of the organisation adopting managed print at a later date when they see and understand benefits of it.
The answer to this is simple. Yes.
