Print in City

We are a Print in City location – a public service for printing, scanning, and copying. This service can be used with an account or as a guest. Payment is made via the app using your personal credit balance. It is also possible to purchase a voucher with a desired amount at the information desk, either in cash or by debit card.

For technical reasons, only PDF and JPEG files can be printed. You can also print from your computer or mobile device and securely release your documents at a public Print in City location.

You can copy documents at all devices at the Print Point, as well as scan documents and receive them by email.

Print in City instructions (German only)

Please note: Print in City is a service provided by a thirdparty and is not an in-house service of the ZHB. You can independently create a user account for Print in City; only an email address is required. Your print jobs are deleted after printing, or at the latest after 48 hours. Until then, your data may be stored in a data center of the third-party provider. We therefore recommend that you do not print confidential data using this service. Please also refer to the Print in City terms of use and privacy policy.
