Sustainable Printing
Kyocera Document Solutions
has been promoting the
importance of economical
printing since launching its
first ECOSYS printer, the
FS-1500, more than 20 years
ago. Standing for Economy,
Ecology & System, ECOSYS
printers have long life drums
and components designed
to last for the lifetime of a
machine. Because the only
consumable is toner, ECOSYS
printers typically generate as
much as 85% less waste than
other laser printers and have
significantly lower running
costs.
These qualities have proved
popular in the current economic
climate, so much so that in
the last three years Kyocera
Document Solutions UK has
gained market share and
increased turnover by 77%. In
the process, it has won a string
of awards and been a finalist in
the National Business Awards.
How to save money
with Kyocera
At a time of shrinking budgets and growing pressure to reduce carbon
emissions, it makes sense to choose a printer company that has been
promoting sustainable printing for more than two decades.
ECOSYS devices have longer
lasting components for lower
running costs
New generation Kyocera
devices have 30% lower energy
consumption
Strong relationships
Most recently, Kyocera has
been shortlisted for the ‘ICT
Company of the Year’ award
(in the over £3million turnover
category) at the BETT Awards
2013 – clear recognition of its
success in the education sector
and the depth of its relationship
with education specialist
resellers.
Reflecting its strength
in this area, Kyocera is an
official provider of print
hardware, software and
managed document services
on the National Educational
Printer Agreement (NEPA)
framework and a member of
CPC (Crescent Purchasing
Consortium) which operates
exclusively for organisations in
the Further Education sector.
In addition, Kyocera works with
partners under the Government
Procurement Service’s RM1599
framework for MFD & Services,
MPS and Print Audit Services.
Education-friendly
Economical ECOSYS technology
has obvious appeal for schools,
colleges and universities. Even
if a school was to replace its
existing products with Kyocera
devices on a like-for-like basis,
it could expect to make savings
through a combination of lower
running costs, reduced energy
consumption and favourable
pricing.
However, economical printing
is just a small part of what
Kyocera offers. As a leading
provider of managed print
services (MPS) – in October
Gartner acknowledged Kyocera’s
expertise in this area by
including it in the Gartner Magic
Quadrant for MPS – Kyocera is
exceptionally well qualified to
address the broader aspects of
print management in education,
including device consolidation,
user authentication, print
quotas, secure print, job routing,
accounting and charge-back and
mobile printing.
This capability is particularly
important for large schools
with devices spread over a
campus and universities and
colleges that provide print as a
paid-for service. As competition
to attract the best students
increases, providing an efficient,
reliable and affordable printer
infrastructure that is compatible
with students’ studying habits
and choice of computing device
becomes essential.
“KYOCERA has worked with UK schools, colleges and
universities for over twenty years reducing waste,
increasing efficiency and improving productivity.
We work with our partners to deliver best practice
and most importantly best pricing for our education
customers. Our industry-leading portfolio of robust and
reliable products and best-of-breed solutions means
that we can deliver schools, colleges and universities
best value document solutions which work and help
lower their carbon footprint.”
