London, England, Palo Alto, California: King s Academy, a schoolin Middlesbrough, England, used to have the problem of astronomic printing coststhat were spiralling out of control. But, now that they have implemented the printmanagement system, Print Manager Plus, from Software Shelf International, they arereporting savings of around 12,000 ($24,000) a year due to reduced wastage of ink,paper and printer wear and tear.

The software includes many cost-saving features such as the ability to restrictstudents printing rights by colour, file type and file name. So, for example,students might be able to print spreadsheet documents but not jpg files. That puts astop to unnecessary print outs of David Beckham, sports cars or Paris Hiltonstraight away.

But a case that gets across the sheer power of this software to reduce costs is thestory of a student of the school who decided to print 700 copies of the same photo as a joke . Thanks to the feature that allows you to see exactly what students haveprinted and to hold them accountable for it if necessary the school was able tobill his parents for the ink and paper used.

"Within 2 weeks, Print Manager Plus paid for itself and we ve been re-investing thesavings back into our school," says Kevin Bowker, a school administrator. "We resaving about 12,000 a year, which has allowed us to upgrade our PCs, printers, andmore."

Christian Delalez, vice president of the company s European office states, PrintManager Plus makes total accounting sense because it allows you to keep track ofwho s printing what, where and when. Without it, you have no control and arecompletely in the dark! Unfortunately, this is still the case for most schools andcolleges everywhere. There are huge savings to be made here.
