It’s probably a lot more than you expect and that’s without considering the costs to the environment. And with concerns about budgets, you might restrict colour printing, especially since most A4 colour prints cost between 4p to 20p each
 Riso can help you:
- Work out how much your school spends on printing and copying
- Reduce your impact on the environment
- Bring colour to the classroom with cost-effective colour printing and copying
- Save money
Your printing and copying costs
Even in small schools, managing copying and printing costs can be a time-consuming and difficult job.
So how much exactly does your school spend on printing and copying? It’s probably more than you’d expect - or prefer to spend.
We see schools buying many inexpensive small desktop printers that are difficult to keep track of, not to mention the amount of consumables, such as ink or toner cartridges, being used or held in stock.
While these small desktop printers are reasonably cheap, their maintenance or repair usually isn’t, so it becomes cheaper to replace them. This often leaves cupboards full of unusable consumables – often bought in large quantities to attract the best discounts – because they are not compatible with the newer model.
By looking at the things you produce, where this happens in the school and discussing your current and future requirements, we can give you a detailed picture of what you are spending – often a surprising (and unnecessary) amount! We will then give you recommendations for how you can reduce those costs or improve what you get for what you spend.
Reducing your environmental impact
Photocopiers and laser printers not only consume significant amounts of energy, they also emit gases such as ozone and carbon monoxide, which are both damaging to the planet and potentially harmful to those working nearby. And independent studies have shown that toner-based printers and copiers can cause lung damage, as a result of the tiny particles they produce.
Riso’s products are both safe and energy efficient, using five times less energy than typical products.
Bringing colour to the classroom
We live in a colour society. Colour is everywhere – in life, on TV, in magazines and on the web. Using colour in teaching materials has been shown by independent studies to have a dramatic effect. It can: - enhance the concentration of pupils in lessons
- improve how teachers prepare and deliver class presentations and lessons
- completely transform how schools produce curriculum material
Colour is the key to an enriched educational experience for all children. Colour will captivate, stimulate, simplify, educate and enhance the learning and teaching potential of our classrooms.
But the cost of colour copies or prints is often too expensive for schools to provide. Riso can offer a solution guaranteed to produce all colour work in schools for less than 1p a copy.

A recent survey has shown that 72% of business managers admitted to not knowing how much their organisation spent on printing and copying. When analysed in more detail, the research showed that 62% of IT managers did not know these costs, rising to 82% in non-IT managers.
