The Express Series gives your school its own in-house poster shop at a budget-friendly price. Print posters quickly, easily, and economically — saving an average of 78.5% over outsourcing — with a U.S.-based graphic designer on call for the life of the printer. Learn about our lifetime design service →

Express poster printers are designed for teachers, not IT. Simple touchscreen controls and StudioCore software mean no training is required — staff with any tech skill level can drop a Canva design or PDF and print a full-bleed 24″×36″ poster in minutes.

Express Series widths are 24″ and 36″. Because both floor models use continuous-roll media, the length of any single print runs up to the length of the roll — perfect for indoor banners, bulletin-board sets, hallway posters, and word walls. The desktop model prints sheets up to 13″×19″.

A typical 24″×36″ classroom poster on standard paper costs about $1.30–$2.19, and a full-bleed photo-grade poster on gloss runs about $9.39. Low-cost ink and roll media keep the Express Series about 78.5% cheaper per poster than outsourcing to a print shop. See the full cost-per-print summary →

Yes — the Express Series prints vivid indoor banners on PolyPro banner and adhesive banner media, plus posters on 25+ media types. If you need water-resistant outdoor banners or widths up to 64″, step up to our Studio Series.

Express Series machines are primarily for staff, but many schools encourage student use through art, graphic design, journalism, yearbook, and student council programs. CTE programs are especially strong candidates — Express prints meet Perkins V instructional standards for graphic communications.

Every Express package ships with lifetime U.S.-based remote tech support, remote installation & training, and a next-business-day onsite warranty — up to 5 years, depending on the package you choose — backed by our nationwide network of 300+ factory-certified service technicians. We work directly with the manufacturer — never as a reseller of relabeled hardware.

Yes — we accept school and district POs with standard net 30 terms. Most Express purchases qualify for Title I, Title IV-A, and Perkins V CTE funding, plus state purchasing contracts including TIPS #250802. See every funding source we work with →

Every Express printer ships with StudioCore, our K-12 poster design and print-management platform. StudioCore includes native Canva integration, drag-and-drop documents-to-poster printing, 10,000+ ready-to-print education templates, 400,000+ royalty-free graphics, scan-to-poster with AI upscaling, PrintCents cost intelligence, and the PSE Mobile App for printing from any phone or tablet. See all StudioCore features →

No — StudioCore was built for teachers and office staff, not graphic designers. The 10,000+ template library handles the design work; you customize names, photos, and dates in a guided editor. If you’d rather not touch the design at all, our lifetime poster design service creates a printable poster for you in 24 hours — free, every package, every printer.

PrintCents reads your design before the print job runs and shows the exact ink + paper cost in dollars and cents. Principals and business managers love it — no surprise spending, no end-of-month ink shock. Schools regularly use PrintCents reports to justify Express purchases against outsourced print bills.

Yes — StudioCore has native Canva integration. Teachers design in Canva (or import existing Canva files), then drag and drop straight into StudioCore for full-bleed wide-format printing on the Express Series. No format conversion, no scaling guesswork, no quality loss.

Express prints are designed for curriculum-aligned visual aids covering TEKS in Texas, Common Core, NGSS, PBIS, and SEL. The included template library spans STEM, ELA, social studies, world languages, athletics, and behavioral supports — ready for any classroom wall.

Yes — schools upgrading to an Express Series can get up to $750 in trade-in credit for their existing poster maker, regardless of brand. We’ll handle pickup logistics and apply the credit directly to your quote.
