Case Study: Mount Royal University cuts paper use and lowers costs with Lexmark managed print services

Mount Royal University cuts paper use by 332,000 sheets with Lexmark

Mount Royal University faced the challenge of replacing 110 aging multifunction devices. The university sought a solution that would maximize uptime, enhance user productivity, trim costs, reduce its environmental footprint, and build a strong relationship with a provider. They specifically wanted to reduce unnecessary paper consumption. After a competitive process, the university chose to lease MFP technology and managed print services from Lexmark.

Lexmark implemented its Print Release solution, which requires users to swipe a card to initiate printing, eliminating forgotten and abandoned print jobs. The vendor worked quickly to procure and install over 100 devices to meet tight deadlines. As a result, in the first year alone, Lexmark's solution saved 332,000 sheets of paper. This reduction, along with lower toner and electricity consumption, cut the university's overall output-related expenditures by 14%.
