Print and mail a document without a printer
You need a paper copy, and the only printer around is the one at work — or there is none at all. Here is how to send a printed document without owning one.
The real problem
Home printers are disappearing. When an agency, a landlord or an employer asks for a paper document, you are left with the post office, the print shop down the street — open while you are at work — or asking someone for a favour.
InkShip does both steps at once: printing and mailing. You upload a file, enter the delivery address, and the document goes out.
How it works
- Upload your filePDF, Word (.docx), JPG or PNG, up to 50 MB. Pages are counted automatically and the price shows before you pay.
- Pick your optionsColour or black and white, single or double-sided, number of copies. Letter size.
- Enter the addressYours, or the address of whoever the document is for. They don't have to be the same.
- Pay and you're doneThe document is printed and mailed within 24 business hours. Delivery then takes 3 to 7 business days.
We can mail it to someone else
It's the question we get most. The delivery address is up to you: nothing says you have to mail it to yourself. Send a signed contract to a client, a form to an agency, or photos to your grandparents.
