The Digital Printing Solution for Schools and Colleges

Welcome to the EduPrint News update

We have exciting events coming up in the next few months and we wanted a way to keep in touch with all the visitors to our stand at the BETT Show in January and of course the ever increasing number of Schools and Colleges that have already signed up to EduPrint.
In this first issue we bring details of a further eleven Schools that have signed up for EduPrint Centres in the last few weeks, latest information on our new mobile demonstration unit and we focus on the progress made at one of our earliest EduPrint Centres at Kings' School in Winchester that are proving to be serious enterprise pathfinders and a flagship centre.

Eduprint - Coming to a School near you

Since BETT 2008, it is fair to say, we have literally been inundated with enquiries about our remarkable printing solution for schools and colleges and deluged with people who want to see it in action.

The difficulty has been getting everybody to come here to the middle of Hampshire or to one of our 40 Plus reference sites around the UK. Well we found the answer on E-Bay where a local council had their 24 year old mobile classroom up for sale. We did a deal and we have been working hard using the Eduprint solution to come up with our own mobile showroom.

So here we GO or rather here we COME ……

The Eduprint bus has been fitted out as a near complete Eduprint centre and more or less self contained with it’s own generator, air conditioning system, kitchen facilities, printers and broadband internet.

Now were ready to bring the WOW factor to a school or college in your vicinity over the next few months.

So call us today to find out when we are going to be in your area and perhaps even book an appointment for us to come and demonstrate the unique printing solution for schools and colleges.

Call now on 02392 599955 or send an e-mail. More pictures of what we did on :-

FOCUS on Kings' School Winchester

Business and Enterprise School, Winchester, is about to celebrate their first year as an EduPrint Centre. The team at King’s have fully embraced the Eduprint Solution, utilising its facility as an actual business model, with Managing, Sales, Marketing and Financial Directors appointed from the student body.

Stuart Johnson - Enterprise Coordinator states, “It’s my mission to embed enterprise within the curriculum. EduPrint allows you to develop a project to a level that you couldn’t otherwise. It is without doubt a remarkable educational tool, ideal for Business & Enterprise schools/colleges, together with schools with specialisms in Art, Photography etc".

"We are using it to stimulate enterprise education within all curriculum areas and across all year group programmes. We use it to support our sustainable business programmes that run across years 7-11, and to support our integrated primary school programmes. The system offers potential substantial cost savings within the school's administration. Eduprint's capability has engaged both the teaching and pupil communities alike. We have inspirational images of pupils in various working environments throughout the school. Comments from the whole community including existing & prospective parents have been very positive. We have developed several curriculum based projects that involve pupils developing, designing products, production, sales & marketing.”

Only 20% of the system’s workload is in-house printing. Winchester Cathedral commissioned a 4mx1m vinyl poster to hang over the High Street. Other in school businesses have sold business cards and calendars. ICT students have designed and printed posters to a professional brief. One project involved groups of GCSE art students making booklets of French stories to sell to local primary schools. Pupils wrote the stories in French, GCSE art students illustrated them and the Management group costed and marketed the finished products.

Stuart Johnson says the EduPrint solution is cheaper than commercially printing up to 500 booklets and comparable for between 500-1000. ”But with a commercial printer you can’t print just 30 booklets, smaller projects would never have got past the planning stage.” There is the additional benefit of time saving with no delay to the process waiting for proofs and making amendments.

In January, the council allocated funding and premises to take Kings' EduPrint Centre to a new level, details to follow.

Finally, EduPrint improves motivation and the development of creative skills through the ability to personalise print content.
