Resources Skills and Cost

Background

At present, there is no College wide audit of our print estate.  Some printers are bought and installed locally on a user’s PC; others are installed in an office to be shared amongst a group of users; and some areas are involved in the Xerox SELECT print service which share printers across multiple offices. 

Printers will be bought from local budgets or research grants, but we have no overview of the true cost of print for the College across all areas, and cannot provide a clear breakdown at College level for what we spend.
