Shared Printing That Works for Coliving Communities
Coliving operators sell a fully furnished, fully serviced living experience — which means members expect the practical stuff, like printing, to simply exist and work. Buying a consumer printer for the common area creates the opposite: supply runs, jam complaints, and no way to keep usage fair.
ResidentPrints turns printing into an operated amenity, matching the service level coliving members already expect from cleaning, Wi-Fi, and utilities.
Fair shared usage without house rules
Shared households generate friction when one member treats the communal printer as a personal print shop. Per-member PINs and monthly quotas make fair use automatic — no house meeting or Slack policy required — while operators can adjust allowances per membership tier.
Because every job is tied to a PIN, there is no anonymous waste and no stack of unclaimed pages recycling itself in the tray.
One amenity fee, no operational load
Coliving margins depend on keeping per-building operations lean. ResidentPrints bundles hardware, paper, toner, maintenance, and member support into a flat fee, so the amenity adds zero recurring tasks for community managers who are often responsible for multiple buildings.
A move-in-ready perk for digital nomads
Coliving members are disproportionately freelancers and remote workers who occasionally need contracts, visas, and shipping labels printed the same day they arrive. Advertising an in-building managed print station is a small line on the listing that answers a real question mobile professionals ask.

Frequently asked questions
Can quotas differ by membership plan?
Yes. Allowances for print, scan, and copy are set per member, so premium plans can include larger allowances while standard plans get a baseline.
What happens when members move in and out?
Member accounts are created and deactivated in the dashboard in seconds, and CSV import supports onboarding an entire house at once.
Does the operator handle any maintenance?
No. Supplies, jams, and repairs are handled by ResidentPrints under the flat amenity fee, and members contact our support directly.
Is printing private in a shared house?
Yes. Jobs are held until the member enters their PIN at the device, so documents are never left in the tray for housemates to see.
