Case Study: Winthrop University cuts printing costs by 50% with Print Manager Plus from Print Manager

Winthrop University cuts printing costs by 50% with Print Manager

Winthrop University, a public university with over 6,000 students, faced a significant challenge with out-of-control printing costs. Students were abusing printing privileges to print non-academic materials like movie scripts and books, leading to skyrocketing expenses for paper, toner, ink, and printer maintenance. The university needed a way to provide printing for legitimate academic needs while curbing wasteful abuse without resorting to turning off printers entirely.

The university implemented Print Manager's Print Manager Plus software, a next-generation printer control solution. The software was simple to install and allowed administrators to set printing quotas, charge differently for color printing, and hold students accountable for their usage. As a result, Winthrop University saved an estimated 50% overall on its printing costs. The Print Manager solution paid for itself in less than a semester, and the savings helped offset the costs of opening additional computer labs.
