How we solved expensive printing challenges for a local Primary School

This case study outlines how a local Primary School in South East Victoria worked with KISS Professional Solutions to upgrade their printing devices. Tooradin Primary School benefited from upgraded machines and lower costs by choosing KISS. Read the case study to find out how.

The Challenge

Tooradin Primary School was locked into a Printing contract with a previous supplier that was expensive and unproductive for the school.
The school was operating with:

  • One newer multifunction print device
  • One significantly older print model
  • Premium pricing as if both were brand-new
  • High ongoing service charges

In summary, they were paying top-tier rates for outdated equipment which increased overheads without gaining performance benefits. With classrooms running at full pace, the school needed technology it could count on, but the existing setup was proving unreliable, inconsistent, and costly.

The Solution

KISS Professional Solutions took a consultative approach – reviewing the current agreement, understanding daily print demands and identifying where unnecessary costs were occurring. We implemented two brand-new Konica Minolta C451i multifunction devices.

By replacing both machines with the same latest-generation model, we ensured:

✔ Consistent performance across the school
✔ Faster, more reliable output
✔ Reduced downtime because of the newer machines
✔ Transparent and simplified service structure
✔ Lower overall hardware and service costs

Instead of maintaining a mixed fleet of old and new, the school now benefits from a fully modernised print environment at a reduced cost.

The Results

The difference was immediate and measurable:

  • Reduced operating overheads
  • Lower service expenses
  • Improved device reliability
  • Greater transparency in billing
  • Increased confidence in their supplier


Most importantly, Tooradin Primary School now has future-ready technology that supports staff efficiency while keeping overheads within budget. They were “much happier with the newer devices and reduced overheads”.
