Farlington School Saves Over £100,000 on 3-Year Print Contract with Toshiba

Farlington School is an independent day and boarding school in West Sussex educating students from age 4 to 18. With a previous setup of 30 printers suffering from reliability issues and poor support, the school partnered with Toshiba to overhaul its print infrastructure.

The Solution

Working with Toshiba, the school consolidated its 30 individual printers into 12 Toshiba multifunction printers with PaperCut MF software. Page-coverage-based billing replaced per-page charging, reducing costs. BYOD printing support was added along with enhanced scanning to email and cloud storage. Through Toshiba’s Carbon Zero Scheme, the deployment also facilitated delivery of two efficient cooking stoves to 11 people in rural Kenya, preserving approximately 5 tonnes of wood annually.

The Results

• Over £100,000 saved over a 3-year contract period
• Fleet consolidated from 30 printers to 12 Toshiba MFPs
• Streamlined booklet printing for parents and staff
• Enhanced scanning with email and cloud integration
• Page-coverage billing reducing costs vs per-page charges
• BYOD printing support across all devices
• Carbon Zero Scheme: 2 cooking stoves delivered to rural Kenya, saving ~5 tonnes of wood annually

“The staff are really appreciating the benefits of the new machines.”
