Instnt Print

A plug, two USB ports, and no PC

The bridge is the whole of the on-site installation. It opens one outbound connection and keeps it alive, so print jobs can reach the counter without anything being opened in the firewall.

€49per bridge, once, excl. VAT

One per location, not one per printer. Shipping within the EU is included; ask about larger numbers and we will look at it properly.

excl. VAT

Or use a computer that is already there

The bridge also exists as software, for a Mac, a Linux machine or a Raspberry Pi. Same protocol as the hardware: begin on the machine you have, swap to a bridge when you want the machine gone.

On Windows it is not ready yet: today it is a script you start yourself, and a proper Windows app is being built. Ask us and we will walk you through the current route.

The bridge, for a counter

At a counter, in a kitchen, in a warehouse — anywhere a computer would be one more thing to switch on, update and restart.

The software, for a desk

Where a computer is standing anyway and is not going to be switched off — a back office, a workshop, a developer’s desk while building.

You do not need one to start

Every account comes with a virtual bridge. It accepts jobs, renders them exactly as a real printer would, and shows you the result in the dashboard. Integrate first, order the hardware once it works — that way the box arrives at a counter where the software is already finished.

Start free — 200 prints

Or build your own

The firmware is an ESP-IDF project for the ESP32-S3, and the server ships as a Docker image. If you would rather run the whole thing on your own hardware and your own network, nothing here stops you.
