Lights, Camera, Action!
The hills have never been this alive.

The lights are dim, there is a constant low hum of excited chatter, and the nervous expectation of proud parents and friends in the audience. The music starts, the curtains swish back to reveal ...WOW... A fabulous 3D stage set produced by your EduPrint Centre. You can really bring 'the hills alive' by mounting printed images onto boards and stands to create the perfect backdrop for your next school or drama group production. Once you have decided on your graphic your next choice will be what effect do you need? You can choose from Gloss, Satin or Art paper, Canvas or Waterproof media

The great thing is you don't have to limit youself to walls, with our adhesive fabric (Part Nos. 005200, 005210 and 005220), you can print grass, rocks even running water onto the fabric and stick it to the floor to continue your incredible backdrop. After numerous standing ovations, at the end of the show, simply peel off, leaving no sticky residue or print on the floor.

What are other EduPrint Centres saying about Eduprint?

“The impact on individuals is huge, we are really looking forward to our photography students GCSE results as their work has been submitted to a professional standard using our EduPrint Solution.” ~ Zoe Watkins, Director of Arts College, Hertswood School, Borehamwood.

“We are able to produce quality certificates of completion that give our clients a huge sense of achievement.” ~ Spangle Jelly, Learning Links (Southern) Ltd

“On their return to school the children were presented with certificates and small gifts (produced with EduPrint at Kings School, Winchester) in the whole school assembly. The large banner, which they brought back, was displayed immediately in our school entrance hall, giving them a real sense of pride in what they had achieved.” ~ Waverley Abbey School, Tilford, Surrey.

“When I saw the quality of the large digital photo-montage produced from our students' photographs, I immediately realised that EduPrint could eliminate our dependency on outsourced print services, dramatically lower print costs and wastage and become a great educational tool to motivate our students.” ~ Trevor Barker, Portsmouth Grammar School.

Focus on Portsmouth Grammar School

Porstmouth Grammar School were proud to present their fantastic EduPrint Centre to Hewlett-Packard's Dave Lanning - Director EMEA Public Sector and Health Care Imaging and Printing Group with Paul Glover LFP Account Manager. They were immediately struck by the fact that in a relatively short period of time, EduPrint had become such an important support tool. In fact they were so impressed, they have initiated an HP Case Study of Portsmouth Grammar School with the primary focus on the use of the EduPrint Solution in the school's activities. Trevor Barker states "Thanks to EduPrint the cost of printing large high-quality digital images has fallen by 80% and our students really enjoy using it to develop their artistic talent. EduPrint has also provided a great opportunity to create income from external customers." PGS Students have recently produced the livery for the school mini-bus and much to the delight of Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, combined images with their own original poetry to exhibit around the school. "We now design and print photo-montages of school trips and concerts, personalised posters, calenders and booklets on-demand at about 20% of the cost charged by commercial organisations. We also market EduPrint as a service to external customers to generate income for the school," concludes Trevor Barker.

Tim Howlett - IT Manager PGS and Trevor Barker - Network manager PGS, implemented their EduPrint Centre in 2007. They subsequently appointed Steven Morris as EduPrint Centre Manager due to the large interest and usage from all departments in the school. PGS have recently celebrated their 275 year anniversary and produced a series of floor standing display banners with exciting promotional material using their EduPrint Solution.

Good Idea!

Trevor Barker - Network Manager PGS has developed this fantastic, very practical piece of equipment to store the wide variety of Eduprint Media. "We were finding that the rolls were getting flat sides, when stored on a hard surface, or tatty ends when stood up, which was affecting our finished product. This has proved to be a perfect solution. A wooden frame with pegs, and broom handles as spools for the media rolls."
