Cost Per Print
When choosing a school poster maker, one of the most important factors to consider is the cost per poster. To help educators make smart budgeting decisions, we’ve created detailed charts that show the exact cost of printing a variety of poster types—each with different ink levels and media options. Use this resource to see what your school can expect to spend on posters for classroom visuals, hallway displays, and more!

Compared With Outsourcing
We priced a 36″ × 48″ poster on our satin photo paper to see what schools really spend when they outsource. Here’s the snapshot:
With School Poster Makers, schools keep more of their budget while still getting top‑quality, large‑format prints!
We tested a 36″ × 48″ poster as our benchmark and printed it on Satin Photo Paper.
Our School Poster Makers Campus Pro Series printer tracked ink down to each milliliter with its built‑in accounting tool.
Skip the Maintenance, Print the Magic
Tired of baby‑sitting a printer that guzzles ink and begs for new parts? School Poster Makers feels your pain. Our Classroom Pro Series and Campus Pro Series school poster makers toss out old‑school maintenance cartridges and keep the spotlight on bold, beautiful posters—not waste tanks.
Goodbye Maintenance Cartridges, Hello Savings
Maintenance cartridges sound harmless until you see the bill.
Every time a traditional printer “cleans itself,” it:
-
Flushes good ink into a disposable cartridge.
-
Pauses your print job.
-
Asks you to buy another pricey waste tank.
Our school poster makers skip that soap‑opera routine. No maintenance cartridges means:
-
Zero wasted ink—every drop lands on your poster.
-
No hidden supply orders—one less item on your budget sheet.
-
Fewer interruptions—just load paper and go.
Printhead Swap? Easy—and Rare
Yes, printheads wear out eventually. But you’ll swap one every few years, not every few weeks. Compare that to constant waste‑cartridge purchases and you see why our math checks out:
| Scenario | Cost Over 3 Years | Hassle Level |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance cartridges + wasted ink | $$$ | 😫 |
| One printhead replacement | $ | 😊 |
You replace a part once, pocket the savings, and keep printing.

-
Faster first print—no pre‑clean ritual.

Continuous runs for pep‑rally banners or science‑fair boards.

Lower total cost of ownership that finance teams cheer.
