Eduprint is a revolutionary resource for schools that has cross curricula application, pupil differentiation capability and is centred upon the use of enterprise skills. Students run the EduPrint Centre as a flexible business within the educational establishment encouraging them to develop entrepreneurial and creative skill sets. EduPrint is now embedded into more than 70 Schools, Study Centres, Adult Learning Centres and Special Needs Centres and is being evaluated by Young Offender Institutions and Mencap. At the heart of the EduPrint solution is the software and templates on a central server, designed for use with the HP Designjet Z2100 wide format printer and the HP Laserjet CP6015dn A3 printer. The Z Series of wide format printers offer widths from 24 inch to 60 inch.
