We used to have 7 wax printers and about 20 inkjets locate in different classrooms and admin
offices. Plus two old black and white copiers. Only on scanner for whole school
Moved to:
- 1 BizHub C650 color high speed (located in teacher's workroom)
- 3 BizHub C350 color (located in strategic points of the buildings, 3 different buildings)
- 1 BizHub C222 black-white (admin office)
Teachers and students can print only to bizhub units. I do not restrict color (difficult in mac/pc
environment) but default print is set up to black/white. It creates complains from some users but
number of color copies drop by over 30% without restricting color with password.
We still use 3 wax printers and about 5 inkjets - admin offices only.
Each BizHub is used as a copier and scanner to whole community - scan to email or to
networked file storage (pdf, jpg, gif etc).
My Admission and marketing Dep. have stooped to use outside companies to print their
materials - big savings. Our biggest BizHub C650 is capable to print high quality brochures
(folds, staples etc).
Total savings on move are lower then I was expected. Simple because now my teachers print
more. :-(
