MANILA, Philippines - To create a perfect learning space, a school for young pupils in Quezon City has turned to leading information technology company Hewlett Packard (HP) to become the first campus designed using environment-friendly printers.
Armando Pascual, HP Philippines country manager for Imaging and Printing Group, said the Diliman Preparatory School (DPS) is the first campus designed using environment-friendly HP Scitex and Designjet printers that feature HP’s Latex printing technology.
“HP is delighted to take part in creating an enriching learning space where students of Diliman Preparatory School can grow and develop their full potential. Leveraging on the eco-friendly benefits of HP Latex technology, DPS can now offer its students a safe and vividly stunning environment that kids can enjoy,” Pascual said.
With the help of Scan Livingston, one of Metro Manila’s top print service providers, DPS was able to redesign its playground, hallways and five of its pre-school classrooms in its Early Childhood Center. Since young students use the classrooms, it is important that the rooms remain a safe haven for children.
Scan Livingston used robust HP Large-format printers to create an environment that is both visually appealing and safe. Equipped with the environment-friendly HP Latex Technology, the HP Designjet and Scitex printers produce large-format prints that are odorless and do not give off hazardous air pollutants unlike other printing solutions in the market.
Classrooms were transformed into colorful spaces that showcased bright hues, vivid images of animals, and stunning educational pictures that cultivate a positive attitude towards learning. The school’s playground boasted more vibrant colors to let students enjoy playtime, and hallways showcased eye-catching designs.
Former senator Nikki Coseteng, who owns DPS, said, “I like the fact that it only took a day to install the printed media. And because the prints were odorless, we did not have to keep the windows open or wait for a week to be able to use the classrooms, and for me this adds a lot of value.”
“With the support of HP Latex technology, which is environmentally-sound and safe, we have transformed the school into an ideal learning environment,” said Coseteng.
