Color printing/photocopying guidlelines

We are currently evaluating our school-wide configuration of printers
and photocopiers and it would be helpful to hear from other schools
their policies around color printing and photocopying. =20

For example, we are a K-12 school and have networked color laser
printers available to all teachers on our K-5 campus but do not
currently have any networked color printers on our 6-12 campus. Our
guiding principle has been that younger kids produce more work in which
the color information is important but is not as crucial for most of the
work produced by older students. We have not taken the plunge into
color photocopying because of concerns about the cost and the challenges
of defining what kinds of things warrant the additional cost of being
copied in color.

It would be helpful to hear how other schools have answered these
questions.
