Strategic Summer Planning For The Next School Year’s Print Needs

Written by SumnerOne | Jun 17, 2025 4:00:00 PM

For school administrators and teachers, summer is a great time to plan and set the stage for success in the coming school year.

Without the need to focus the attention on teaching students and handling various responsibilities, teachers and admins can start preparing materials for the upcoming academic year and even work on improving workflows.

Identifying and Fulfilling Print Needs Using Smart Solutions

Every school has its own unique print needs. Generally, this involves pre-school year enrollment forms, advertisement banners, lesson plans, lesson handouts, quizzes, and exam questionnaires—all of which are vital in classroom settings.

With the right print solutions in place, satisfying those print needs can be as easy as A-B-C.

For teachers, having high-quality printed materials is crucial. For example, a lesson handout with unclear images or a test questionnaire with typos are not only a mess to deal with, but (and more importantly) can also dampen students’ motivation and negatively affect learning outcomes.

One useful print solution for teachers is pre-press workflow software. This is used primarily for automatic proofing, ensuring accuracy by reducing typos in questionnaires, ensuring color accuracy for printed images, and so on.

Meanwhile, for school admins, taking steps to streamline existing workflows will help ensure that your school resources and personnel are optimized and efficient not just for the coming school year but from then on. These print solutions are worth considering:

  • Remote Work Solutions
    With these, your printers can be used regardless of distance. For example, if there are unexpected class suspensions in the following school year, this is especially useful so that faculty members can continue their work despite not being on campus.

  • Managed Print Services (MPS)
    To ensure cost-effectiveness and lower unnecessary waste, this enterprise print solution allows you to track print jobs, conduct predictive maintenance, and more. MPS is great at not only accomplishing these tasks but also delivering other important services such as hardware managements and needs assessments.

Trust a Reliable Print Solutions Provider For Your Summer Planning 

To avail of the aforementioned solutions and more—be it enterprise print solutions, workplace solutions, and even IT services—you’ll need an established and trusted print technology provider.
