10 Ways Educator Plus Goes Beyond Posters in Schools
Large-format printers are more than just tools for posters—they can transform classrooms, hallways, and school-wide projects. With the Educator Plus Poster Printer, schools can explore creative, practical, and engaging ways to use printing technology. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is a large-format printer worth it?” the answer becomes clear once you see how Educator Plus can be applied across a variety of projects.
10 Creative Ways to Use the Educator Plus Poster Printer
Window Graphics and Security Screens
Using perforated window film, schools can create graphics that act as privacy screens while still allowing visibility from the inside. These screens are perfect for ground-level windows, helping hallways remain bright and welcoming. Additionally, they can be customized with school colors or logos, adding both safety and visual appeal.
Custom T-Shirts
Pair the Educator Plus with heat transfer materials to make custom t-shirts for field trips, clubs, sports teams, or staff events. These designs are durable and long-lasting, and they help build a sense of community and pride among students and staff.

Stickers and Decals
With printable sticker material, schools can create vibrant stickers for laptops, water bottles, classroom supplies, or hallway decorations. These are ideal for school spirit campaigns, student clubs, and PBIS rewards. They also offer practical uses like labeling equipment or marking classroom zones.
Stickers are easier with a vinyl cutter. Explore Cut Out Studio.
Locker Magnets
Using printable magnetic material, schools can design locker magnets for spirit weeks, sports teams, or student recognition programs. Magnets are durable, reusable, and easy to swap out, making them both fun and functional while showcasing school pride.
Bulletin Board Backgrounds
Create custom bulletin board backdrops that are vibrant, durable, and perfectly sized for any display. These backgrounds can be updated seasonally or to match classroom themes, providing an engaging visual environment for students while saving teachers prep time.
Student-Run Print Shops
Encourage entrepreneurial skills by running a student print shop. Students can create banners, posters, t-shirts, stickers, and more for school events or fundraising. This hands-on experience teaches business, design, and project management skills while engaging the wider school community.

Why the Educator Plus Stands Out for Schools
When schools invest in technology, they want more than just a basic printer – they need a system that adapts to multiple uses, supports staff, and grows with student needs. The Educator Plus poster printer delivers exactly that. It’s not only designed for creating high-quality posters, but also for producing a wide variety of educational and school-wide projects that save time and money. From custom signage to classroom visuals and fundraising products, Educator Plus gives schools the flexibility to handle tasks in-house rather than outsourcing.
Even more importantly, when paired with EmpowR Academy, schools gain the training and resources needed to maximize every feature. This combination makes the Educator Plus one of the most practical and valuable printing solutions for K–12 education today – helping schools improve communication, boost engagement, and stretch their budgets further.
