Pspot Inc.

Pspots offer an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional model of printing. Whereas currently, a building might contain as many as 100 printers servicing only their owners, the same building is now serviceable by only 1 or 2 Pspots. This remarkable saving is based on the fact that people infrequently use printers and by sharing access to one printer, considerable reductions in manufacturing waste and carbon emissions can be achieved. We setup printers in public places. Anyone who wants to use our printers visits us online, uploads the job and then walks over to any of our locations and collects their prints.
