Printing for students in Zagreb: notes, past exam papers and essays, 24/7

The teacher sent the notes as a PDF, the exam is tomorrow, and the printer at home is out of ink. The Printbox at Vendo runs 24/7.

The revision notes arrived by email at 9pm. The exam is at 8am. The printer at home has been "out of ink" for three months. Sound familiar?

The self-service Printbox kiosk at Vendo runs 24/7, every day. It's a few minutes' walk from several Zagreb secondary schools and from trams 1, 9, 13 and 17.

What students print most

  • Revision notes and summaries. Paper is easier to learn from: underline, scribble in the margin, cross out what you know.
  • Past state matura exams with answers. The National Centre for External Evaluation of Education (NCVVO) publishes them on its website. A past paper done on paper, with a pen and a timer, is the closest thing to the real exam.
  • Worksheets and exercises with solutions sent by teachers by email or in an app.
  • Essays, reports and projects that must be handed in on paper.
  • Reading notes and excerpts.
  • Parental consent forms for trips, excursions or competitions. Print it, get it signed, hand it in.
  • Applications and certificates for scholarships, student halls, sports clubs or competitions.
  • Your CV for a summer job.

Printing tips before an exam

  • Print past papers in black-and-white. It's cheaper and fine for practice.
  • Print the answers separately from the exam, so you don't peek.
  • Two pages per sheet (if you save the PDF that way) means half the paper and half the price.

How

  1. Save the document as a PDF.
  2. Copy it to a USB stick or upload it to your Printbox account online (printbox.net). Printing from USB needs no registration.
  3. Walk up to the Printbox kiosk inside Vendo, pick the document, number of copies and colour.
  4. Pay by card or phone (NFC) and take your prints.

The price per page is shown on the kiosk and at printbox.net. More about the kiosk on the Printbox page.
