If you're in charge of technology or budgeting at a school, you've likely felt the headache of unreliable printers, surprise toner outages, or complicated contracts. Every minute spent fixing those issues takes away from what truly matters: teaching and learning.
That’s why more educational institutions — from public schools to private colleges — are turning to Managed Print Services (MPS). These solutions help schools reduce costs, improve efficiency, and eliminate the chaos of managing printers internally.
Let’s break down why MPS is becoming a must-have for the modern classroom.
Managed Print Services are a full-service solution where a third party (like Elevated Group) handles all aspects of your print environment. This includes:
Installing and maintaining printers and copiers
Automatic toner replenishment
On-site repairs and support
Monitoring usage and providing cost insights
Optimizing device placement to reduce unnecessary spend
Instead of relying on staff to manage dozens of machines, your entire print system is professionally maintained on autopilot.
Here are the most common challenges educational institutions report:
Challenge & Impact on School Operations
Constant printer breakdowns - Interrupts teaching and admin workflows
High maintenance costs - Eats into already-tight school budgets
Lack of usage visibility - No insight into overuse or unnecessary printing
Manual toner management - Sudden outages create downtime and frustration
Inconsistent support - Delayed repairs disrupt daily campus activities
Schools often operate with strict yearly budgets. With Elevated Group’s flat, per-user rate model, schools know exactly what they’ll spend each month — no surprise fees, no unexpected invoices.
When your copier breaks down 30 minutes before printing report cards, waiting days for a tech isn’t an option. Elevated Group offers live, local support with rapid dispatch.
FERPA compliance and student data protection aren’t optional. Our systems are configured to close off print-related security risks and maintain full control over document access.

Q: How much can schools really save with MPS?
Most schools save between 15–30% on print-related expenses in the first year alone.
Q: Will this work if we already have a printer contract?
Yes. Elevated Group offers contract buyouts and lease flexibility to help transition smoothly.
Q: Is it secure enough for sensitive student data?
Absolutely. We follow all best practices for FERPA compliance, including encrypted print queues and access controls.
Q: What if we need new equipment?
We offer fast equipment upgrades, installation, and training without disrupting your staff.
Print may not be glamorous, but it’s mission-critical. Elevators break. Emails go down. But when printers stop working, everything halts — attendance sheets, report cards, permission slips, lesson materials.
With Elevated Group’s Managed Print Services for Education, your school can regain control, reduce costs, and empower staff with reliable technology.
