Purchase Orders, Leasing & School Procurement
Can your school buy a poster printer with a purchase order? Yes. Poster Studio Express accepts school and district purchase orders, provides formal quotes and complete vendor documentation for your business office, and offers leasing for schools that prefer to spread the cost across budget years.
School purchase orders are our standard way of doing business. PSE is an established K-12 vendor — trusted by 4,600+ schools, A+ BBB rated, and available through the TIPS purchasing cooperative (contract #250802).

How the Purchase Order Process Works
Four steps from first conversation to a poster printer package in your school — matched to how district business offices already buy.
Request a quote
Tell us your school or district and what you’re looking to do; we’ll size the right package and send a formal written quote your business office can attach to a requisition.
We supply vendor documentation
W-9, vendor packet, and any forms your district’s purchasing department requires to set PSE up as a vendor.
Your business office issues the PO
Send it to us referencing the quote. Cooperative purchasing members can route the purchase through TIPS contract #250802 to satisfy competitive-bid requirements.
We fulfill against the PO
Your school receives the complete package — printer, StudioCore software, training, and supplies — and your district pays on its normal terms.
Leasing for Schools
Schools that prefer a predictable annual cost can lease their poster printer package instead of purchasing outright. Leasing keeps the machine, software, and warranty coverage together in one recurring line item that’s easy to plan around budget cycles.
- Predictable annual cost — spread the investment across budget years instead of one capital outlay.
- Everything stays together — hardware, StudioCore software, and warranty coverage in a single recurring line item.
- Easy to plan around — one number your business office can carry from budget cycle to budget cycle.

Funding Sources Schools Use
Poster printer packages are commonly purchased with instructional-materials budgets, Title I funds (for eligible campuses and uses), PTA/PTO funds, and activity or athletics budgets. Your PSE consultant can help match the package to the funding source your district plans to use.
Instructional Materials Budgets
The most common route — poster printer packages support classroom instruction across every grade level and subject.
Title I Funds
For eligible campuses and uses, Title I funding regularly covers poster printer packages that serve schoolwide programs.
PTA / PTO Funds
Parent organizations regularly fund poster printer packages — we can quote to the PTA/PTO directly or coordinate with the school’s business office.
Activity & Athletics Budgets
Game-day posters, senior nights, and spirit signage make athletics and activity funds a natural fit for a poster printer.
