Universities are under pressure to cut costs.

Financial Directors who are tasked with finding savings may see closing their print room as a quick way to save money. But this is often a false economy.

The money that’s saved is then spent on third-party print providers, which ends up being more expensive in the long run.

Thankfully, there is another way.

Transform your print room from a cost centre to a profit centre.

By investing strategically, you can turn your print facility into a successful operation that can more than cover its own costs.

It’s not about buying new equipment, it’s about shifting your mindset from fulfilling requests to proactively generating demand and behaving like a commercial operation.

Digital and technology transformation that brings cost savings

The Leeds University Print and Copy Bureau can now meet the needs of staff, students and attract commercial work from other nearby businesses and suppliers to the university.
