While schools are becoming more digitised, there are still some things that just have to be printed: application forms; exam paper, yearbooks, event posters, prospectuses and more. Schools usually outsource printing in a bid to save time and money.
Control and cost savings
To achieve printing and finishing discounts from outsourced printers, schools often have to order a minimum amount, which may end up being surplus to requirements. Managing the process in-house means schools can produce these materials as required, reducing waste and delivering more control over the entire process.
Flexibility
Being able to respond fast to things like requests for prospectuses gives schools a potential competitive edge. This flexibility to print materials on demand reduces the chance of existing materials going out of date and becoming unusable wasted.
Quality
New technology means high-quality digital printing is as good as offset printing. Schools can also maintain control by monitoring jobs as they are printing, which means they can make adjustments where required.
Consistency
Using the same equipment and processes for every print job can help schools ensure their materials are presented correctly and consistently, every time. This helps with the integrity of the brand.
Bulk printing
By automatically sending larger smaller print jobs to the print room instead of printing on office multifunction printers, schools can save time and money, freeing up time on office multifunction printers for the smaller print work.
Customisation
Printing professional-quality materials in-house provides opportunities to customise materials on the fly to create personalised print collateral.
