An unattended print kiosk takes a file from someone's phone, takes the payment and prints, with nobody behind a counter. If you are thinking about putting one on your campus, in your apartment complex or in your shop, here is what owning a Snaprint kiosk looks like: the price, what is included, the payback and how to start.
The idea: printing where people already are
A Snaprint kiosk goes where people already pass by: a library, a hostel block, an apartment lobby or a shop front. People scan the QR code, upload from their phone, pay by UPI and collect. The kiosk keeps printing when no one is at the counter, including late at night and early in the morning.

What you keep
Snaprint earns from the kiosk sale, not from your prints. Everything the kiosk earns is yours, minus your own running costs: paper, ink, electricity and the gateway fee.
How fast a kiosk pays back depends on your footfall and the price you set per page. See the ROI guide to work it out for your site.
Reliability
The most common worry about an unattended machine is what happens when something goes wrong.
- A live dashboard on your phone shows print counts, revenue, ink and paper levels. If paper runs low, you know before a customer does.
- Support comes from the Bengaluru team that builds the kiosk, not a call centre.
- The 1-year warranty covers the complete kiosk, hardware and software.
Uploads are encrypted in transit.
How to get started
- Enquire. Fill the form or book a demo. Tell us about your site and rough daily print volume.
- Site check. Our team checks your site for space, power and internet. The kiosk needs a flat floor space of 55 x 70 cm, one power point and a network connection.
- Delivery. Delivered within 15 days of payment. Live within an hour of delivery, with owner dashboard training the same day.
Speed
A typical 7-page B&W document prints in under 60 seconds, start to finish. A small queue at a college gate clears quickly.
Who this is for
- Colleges and universities with exam-season queues and late-night printing needs.
- Apartments where residents need printouts at any hour.
- Shops, stationery stores and coaching centres that want to take orders while the counter is busy or closed.
