Schools generate and store thousands of documents every year — from student records and health information to financial aid files and testing data. With increasing regulatory requirements, such as FERPA and HIPAA, as well as rising cybersecurity threats, it has never been more critical for schools to safeguard sensitive information. Secure document handling isn’tjust about compliance; it’s about building trust with students, parents, and the community. 

Healthcare providers are required to protect patient information under HIPAA regulations. While most focus on digital cybersecurity, printed documents also create compliance risks. To stay secure, hospitals and clinics should use tools like pull-print authentication, encryption, and audit logs to safeguard both digital and print workflows. 

Schools today are under increasing pressure to provide high-quality educational resources while keeping costs under control. From elementary classrooms to large universities, reliable and efficient print solutions remain essential for communication, collaboration, and learning. Modern technology allows schools to not only print smarter but also reduce waste, personalize materials, and streamline operations.

Here are the top 10 print solutions every school should consider this year to support students, staff, and administrators.
