Fewer devices, less paper and a tree planted for every printer

Cambridge does not print like other cities. The documents coming off a device on Cambridge Science Park, at Granta Park or in a college office are often the kind that matter enormously if they end up in the wrong hands. Grant applications, patent drafts, trial protocols, lab notebook pages, tenders and exam scripts. The print fleet behind them is frequently an afterthought, bought piecemeal as a company grew and now costing more in toner and lost time than anyone has measured.

Our managed print service for Cambridge is built for that mix of high confidentiality and fast growth. We audit what you have, right size it, install Fujifilm or Develop devices with PaperCut secure release and then run the whole thing for one monthly figure. Consumables arrive before they are needed, faults are picked up remotely and when an engineer is required they come out from our Bedford base rather than a national depot.

CopyBox Document Systems is a family run, award winning business established in 2017 on more than 30 years of industry experience. We are an authorised Fujifilm and Develop reseller and a PaperCut partner, and we already support organisations across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and the surrounding counties.

In a research business the most valuable thing in the building is often a sheet of paper nobody has read yet.

Managed print for the organisations that make up Cambridge

Each part of the Cambridge economy prints differently and answers to different rules. We have written a dedicated guide for each one.

Science and technology parks

Multi tenant buildings on Cambridge Science Park, St John’s Innovation Park, Granta Park and the Biomedical Campus. Shared devices by floor, follow me printing across sites and cost reporting per company or department.

Regulated environments where batch records, SOPs and trial documents must be controlled and traceable. Secure release, print logging and devices that suit clean and wet lab areas.

Institutes and laboratories printing protocols, results and posters alongside grant admin, often across several buildings on one campus. Reliable devices and one supplier for everything.

Companies moving from an incubator desk to their own unit and growing quickly. No capital spend on hardware, upgrades without penalties and terms that move with headcount.

Patent attorneys, law firms, accountants and consultancies where client confidentiality is the whole business. Card release, secure disposal and clear audit trails.

Listed buildings, narrow staircases, term time peaks and a mix of staff and student printing. Devices chosen to fit the space and agreements that suit college budgeting.

The commonest leak in a research organisation is not a hack. It is a draft claim set, a results summary or a term sheet collected off a shared printer by the wrong person, or a decommissioned device that leaves the building with years of documents still on its hard drive.

Secure release holds every job until the sender authenticates at the device with a card or PIN, so nothing prints unattended. Encrypted storage and certified data wiping at end of term mean the device itself never becomes the weak point. Audit logs show who printed what and when, which is exactly the evidence an ISO 27001 assessor, a licensing partner or a due diligence team will ask for.

For firms in the city’s historic core, where offices sit in shared listed buildings with communal corridors, that same discipline keeps client documents off the landing.

Cambridge’s science economy is spread across a wide area, from the city centre out to the campuses and market towns of South Cambridgeshire. Our engineers cover all of it from Bedford, so a fault at Babraham or Melbourn gets the same response as one on Hills Road.

Devices are monitored remotely and toner ships automatically, which removes most of the reasons anyone would ever need to call. When you do, you reach a person in our Bedford office who knows your account and can get an engineer moving straight away. City centre sites with restricted access or permit parking are handled as a matter of routine.

SECURE RELEASE, ENCRYPTED STORAGE AND CERTIFIED DATA WIPING

STANDARD SCOPE OF A COPYBOX MANAGED PRINT AGREEMENT

We visit your site, count the devices, take the meter readings and look at how documents actually move around your building. You get a clear picture of cost, waste and confidentiality risk, plus a proposal for a fleet that fits, with no obligation either way.

Setting up a new Cambridge office or lab

Spinouts leaving the incubator, companies taking their first unit on a park and institutes opening a new building all hit the same problem. Print is needed on day one and is usually specified last. Here is how we make sure it is ready.

Headcount, floor plan and the type of documents each team produces, including any lab specific needs such as label or barcode printing.

We give your fit out team and IT provider the power, network and positioning requirements for each device so nothing is missed.

Devices delivered, connected, configured with secure release and tested before staff arrive. Old devices collected and wiped if you are leaving another site.

A check in after the first month, then regular reviews so the fleet keeps pace with the next funding round or the next building.

Cambridge has some of the most demanding carbon targets in the country and the pressure runs through the whole ecosystem, from the university and the colleges down to the smallest spinout being asked about its footprint by investors and grant bodies.

Managed print helps in plain, measurable ways. A right sized fleet uses fewer, newer devices that draw less power on standby. Secure release removes the uncollected jobs that go straight to recycling. Scan to email and document workflows cut paper where paper was never needed. We report on volumes so the reduction goes into your sustainability statement as a number rather than a sentence, and we plant a tree at the Forest of Marston Vale for every printer we supply.
