Cumnor House Sussex Cuts Running Costs by 48% and Boosts Printing Capacity by 66%

Cumnor House Sussex is an independent school in Ashdown Forest, serving approximately 380 pupils and 150 staff. Its print estate is critical to delivering teaching resources. After poor service from a previous supplier, the school sought a local partner who could improve its print infrastructure.

The Challenge

The school needed robust printing devices, software for usage visibility, and reliable service support — all tailored to the needs of a busy educational environment with a large staff and pupil population.

The Solution

Cumnor House transitioned to the latest Toshiba MFPs with PaperCut print management software pre-configured before delivery. A three-tier billing process was implemented to optimise colour copy expenses, and PaperCut dashboards gave the school complete visibility of print usage across the site.

The Results

• 48% reduction in running costs
• 66% increase in printing capacity
• Full print usage visibility via PaperCut dashboards
• Additional savings through user education on unnecessary print jobs

“With approximately 380 pupils and 150 members of staff, our print estate is critical in providing teaching resources.”
