New buildings, outdated print infrastructure
Highline is a K-12 public school district located just
south of Seattle. It serves nearly 18,000 students in
1,202 classrooms on 35 campuses. Of 2,400
employees, over half are teachers.

Taking stock of the existing printing and copying
scenario, Finstrom found approximately 100 copiers of
all makes and models spread throughout the system.
Some were leased, some bought. Only a handful of
devices were network ready. Individual classrooms were
equipped with color inkjet printers. Only black ink was
used in several of them to reduce costs, however,
administrators realized each printer was consuming
upwards of $350 a year in cartridges. What’s more,
the inkjets broke down regularly under heavy
workloads that they were not designed to handle.

“The equipment hodgepodge had accumulated over
time and was highly inefficient,” Finstrom explains. “If
everybody has their own personal device, it’s slow and
it takes a lot of ink. They were printing maybe 200
pages a day on printers designed for more like 200
pages a month. I’d need a staff that knew how to fix
color lasers, black-and-white lasers, color inkjets, and
who knew what else is out there in the buildings.
Additionally, each building would have to inventory
ink and toner for multiple devices. I said no to all that.
We needed a utilitarian device that could fax, email,
scan, print and copy.”

While researching this “utilitarian device,” Finstrom
started adding digital capabilities at Highline with an
HP Scanjet Scanner, which sat next to an HP Color
LaserJet Printer in his department office. District
executives started showing up to scan articles, and
they liked what they saw. Finstrom met with them —

started adding digital capabilities at Highline with an

executives started showing up to scan articles, and
they liked what they saw. Finstrom met with them —
and with teachers, administrators and office employees
throughout the system — to learn their printing needs.
Three key requirements emerged — easy access,
security for printing report cards and other confidential
documents, and reliability for high volume. Searching
for something durable that could be centrally located
and password protected, he tested a number of
brands. HP Edgeline emerged the clear winner.

Enter Edgeline
HP pioneered Edgeline Technology to provide fast,
reliable, high-volume printing of outstanding quality at a
low operational cost. Using an array of printheads
stretched across the page, the printer moves the paper,
not the printhead. This produces more accurate ink-drop
placement for crisp output using vibrant HP Vivera inks.
Edgeline reliability increases printing up-time, requires
less maintenance, and decreases total cost of
ownership. Plus, the printers are intuitively easy to use —
a must in a district like Highline, where everyone from
office assistants to teachers must be able to walk up to
the device and get their work done with no hassle.

“It was meant to be. The HP printer with Edgeline
Technology is the ultimate tool,” Finstrom says. “It combines
multiple functions in one machine. The ink technology is
inexpensive, yet highly efficient. The copies are crisper than
a laser. There’s not the same heat inside the device without
the typical heat exchanger found in toner devices, so there
is much less concern about ventilation.”

Highline has acquired 10 HP Edgeline Technology
printers so far. Seven are HP CM8050 Color MFPs
deployed in school buildings. Three are higher-speed
HP CM8060 Color MFPs placed in administrative
offices. The equipment was acquired through a
combination of purchase and lease, including supplies
and maintenance. The HP CM8060 Color MFP in

“My goal is to eliminate the need for
individual printers in every room. Using a
central, multifunction device like the HP
CM8060 Color MFP with Edgeline
Technology drives the cost down and
improves quality.”
