Choosing the right print technology partner can deliver great benefits across your organisation.

About the Client

Located in Shropshire, Telford College is one of the largest single-site colleges in the UK, with around 20,000 students from the ages of 13-50.

The college needed a strategy that helped them create a secure, sustainable and centralised print environment to help them reduce costs, improve productivity and enhance security.

The Challenge

Creating a more sustainable print environment

• Existing in-house marketing collateral and publications needed to better reflect the college’s status

• The two main devices were old and unreliable, job submission and tracking was a major problem

• Push print and single function printers meant unclaimed prints were left on top of the devices, which posed a security risk and increased waste

• 180 leased print devices on two separate agreements from different suppliers, was making the print estate difficult to manage and administer

• Multiple single-function mono printers were costly and had none of the required functionality

The Solution

Helping the college create a professional print room

• A brand-new fleet of Multi-Functional Devices

• Print management software and full ‘follow you ‘print solution was installed

• Nine-colour wide format printer added to the fleet

• A new professional automatic guillotine

The Results

Significant cost savings, greater security and improved efficiency

• 99% device uptime across the fleet

• 60% reduction in costs associated with printing

• Print fleet streamlined by around 72% down to 50 Multi-Function Devices

• Built-in identity authentication increased security and reduced cost and waste from unclaimed prints
