As some annual budgets start to close out, there’s always that same question:
How do we use what’s left in a way that actually helps us next year?
For a lot of schools, that’s where print starts to make sense, not as a one-time purchase, but as something that gets used constantly across campus.
Where Print Shows Up Every Day
Think about how often printed materials are needed throughout the year:
-
Event signage for games and open houses
-
Posters for plays, concerts, and student organizations
-
Wayfinding and campus communication
-
Classroom visuals and teaching aids
None of these are occasional. It’s ongoing. And when it’s outsourced, it usually comes with tradeoffs- longer turnaround times, higher costs, and limited flexibility when something inevitably comes up at the last minute.
It also adds up quickly. What schools pay a print shop for a single order is often far more than what it costs to produce the same materials in-house.
Bringing print in-house changes that. Instead of waiting on a vendor, teams can create what they need, when they need it- whether that’s same-day signage for a game or materials for an event that just got approved.
And over time, those everyday jobs start to cost significantly less. What was once outsourced at a premium becomes something you can produce for a fraction of the cost.
A Simpler Way to Get There
The Epson® SureColor® T3770ESR Education Bundle is built to make that transition easier.
Rather than piecing together equipment, ink, media, and maintenance box, it’s all bundled together. Schools can get up and running without having to figure out what works with what or worry about missing components.
Less setup. More doing.

Built for How Schools Actually Work
In a school environment, usability matters just as much as print quality.
The T3770E is designed for:
-
Day-to-day poster and signage production
-
Classroom and administrative materials
-
Shared use across multiple departments
It’s not meant to sit in one corner and serve one team. It’s something different groups can rely on:
-
Athletics for banners, schedules, and sponsor signage
-
Administration for campus messaging and wayfinding
-
Teachers for visuals and instructional materials
-
Student groups for events, clubs, fundraisers, and promotions
No specialized operator required. No complicated workflow. Over time, it just becomes part of how the school communicates, like any other essential tool.
A Tool That Can Pay You Back
There’s another side to bringing print in-house that often gets overlooked: it can help generate revenue.
Fundraisers, school events, and student organizations all rely on printed materials- posters, banners, promotional signage, and more.
With in-house printing, schools can:
-
Produce fundraiser materials at a much lower cost
-
Support more events without increasing spend
-
Create opportunities to print for clubs, teams, or even community groups
Instead of paying for every piece, schools can start to recapture those costs and, in some cases, turn printing into a meaningful source of funding.
