Abstract
The HUB supports the Husky Experience by enhancing UW community, providing a dynamic event center, and fostering student engagement. As the University’s primary community center and student gathering place, we host over 2,100 student reservations per year. These events, activities, and meetings provide an opportunity for students to create memories, cultivate relationships, and develop skills beyond the classroom walls. The HUB would like to lease* 2 photoboxx (https://www.photoboxx.me/) hashtag printers to enhance student events and activities and increase the engagement and reach of their online presence. Photoboxx printers increase participation in social campaigns and provide a unique event experience. Having 2 printers would allow us to manage the scope of large events and/or multiple clients to reserve the machines for concurrent events. *A one-year lease is $9,550 compared to purchase for $9,150. The lease includes unlimited print supplies, access to design/analytics software, and technical support. The purchase price does NOT include supplies ($165 per 800 prints) or access to design/analytics software (business license starts at $3,000 year). At the conclusion of the one-year lease, we can purchase the equipment for $1. The HUB would then assume responsibility for supplies and software licenses.
