We Need a Printer That Doesn't Break the Bank

Help me give my students a new, cost effective color printer and replacement ink.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dobkin's classroom raised $370

This project is fully funded

My Project

We found out too late that the printer in our classroom has unaffordable ink. It was a replacement for a printer that was broken during quarantine-era cleaning.

When it was time to replace the ink, we realized that one replacement of color and black ink costs about $300!

Worse still, the ink does not last very long. This ink cost is higher than our Teacher's Choice money allotment for the year, and higher than the cost of many printers.

Teachers often have to pay for classroom items, and ask parents to pay for classroom items. We don't want to burden anyone in our classroom community with this high of a cost.

We need to make all sorts of copies in our day-to-day classroom life. We print student worksheets when the office copy machine is broken or available. We print out copies of student work for them to use, such as copies of their writing work so that they don't need to recopy by hand. Please help us to continue printing without the hefty price tag.
