where can print something
You have a few reliable options for printing, even if you don’t own a printer.
Fast in‑person options
- Public libraries often offer cheap printing, scanning, and copying; many charge per page and let you print from a library computer or by uploading online in advance.
- Office supply chains (like Office Depot/OfficeMax in many countries) provide document printing, binding, and same‑day pickup if you upload files through their website.
- Local copy/print shops and reprographic centers can print from USB, email, or online uploads, and may offer better prices for large jobs.
- University or college print rooms (if you’re a student or staff) usually have self‑service printers paid via campus card.
Example: One guide notes you can print at a city library from about €0.15 per page, or use nearby copy shops where staff can help you upload and print documents.
Online and click‑and‑collect
If you don’t mind waiting a bit or want minimal in‑person interaction:
- Big office‑supply websites let you upload documents, choose paper and binding, then pick up in store or get delivery, often with same‑day or next‑day turnaround.
- Specialized document‑printing services let you upload PDFs or Word files for A4/letter printing, with options for delivery or pickup at partner print shops.
Example: Some services focus on quick A4 document printing with next‑day delivery or pickup from local print shops, with transparent per‑page pricing and optional binding/lamination.
How to choose the best option
- If you need it right now : Walk to the nearest library, office‑supply store, or copy shop.
- If you need large volumes (hundreds of pages) : Compare online print services and local copy shops; they often give bulk discounts.
- If you need binding or presentation‑quality : Use office‑supply print centers or dedicated print shops; they support spiral, comb, or tape binding and better paper options.
If you tell me your country/city and what you’re printing (e.g., 5 black‑and‑white pages vs. 200‑page color report), I can suggest which type of place is likely cheapest and most convenient for you.
