Cragside Primary School
Cragside is a vibrant school full of energy and enthusiasm. They pride themselves on having fantastic staff who deliver a superb curriculum to their wonderful children. They work hard to ensure that all of their children are nurtured as well as inspired.
We are extremely happy with the service from Spectrum Print. The new printers are saving us so much time! We no longer have to order new ink or give our print numbers every month, it’s all taken care of remotely. The team are amazing and always very helpful!
The Challenges
- Waste: The school struggled with a significant amount of wasted paper due to unintentional or unnecessary printing.
- Outdated Printers: The existing printers were old and required frequent technical assistance, causing stress for the staff.
- Individual Office Printers: There were five individual printers in offices, which were costly to maintain.
- Ink Management: Staff sometimes used up all the ink without notifying the office, leading to ink shortages.
The Solution
- New Printers: The school now boasts three new large printers and five new small printers, eliminating the problems associated with the old, unreliable printers.
- Ink Provision: Spectrum Print solutions provide all the necessary ink, saving the school money on cartridges.
- Uniflow Software: Uniflow has been implemented, preventing unnecessary printing and enhancing data protection compliance by only printing documents when users retrieve them.
