  Rising costs get a failing grade

The expense of creating documents in schools and libraries is a challenging management problem. With the proliferation of email and Internet access, and with both students and faculty using technology at an increasing rate, an institution's resources can often be overwhelmed.

That's where Equitrac can help. We offer cost-effective hardware and software to provide a complete solution for your facilities, whether you require straightforward, card-based vending, flexible account-based control, or even integration with campus-wide card systems. Equitrac's solutions have been designed for simple deployment and unmatched ease-of-use. Even if your policy does not allow for fee-based printing, we can help you control who is printing, how much they print and which printers they use.

Solution Workflow

Printing environments and charging policies vary from one institution to the next. Students, faculty or departments are often assigned accounts from which they can debit printing and copying costs. All transactions are stored in a central database and can be analyzed and reported. Equitrac's Higher Education solutions allow for diverse charging policies and easy payment methods.
