Customer Success Story: Santa Maria College
Santa Maria College is a leading WA secondary school with 1,270 students and a 1:1 laptop program. It needed print costs added to the multi-purpose card students already used for buses, food, and printing.
Konica Minolta introduced PaperCut, integrating pay-for-print tracking with the existing swipe card, alongside pull printing, AirPrint, and i2Scan document management. The college also added 24 new MFDs and a production printer. Costs dropped instantly, with clearer visibility of spend and more responsible printing across the school.
Our costs have instantly been reduced through PaperCut. We’ve also seen a reduction in waste due to Konica Minolta’s environmentally efficient devices.
