Complete cloud-native print management for business

Yes it's easy to set up. With the help of our global partner network you can be set up in no time on most modern printers and MFDs. PaperCut Hive is based on the same design principles as PaperCut Pocket. We are super proud with the intuitive admin interface that allows you to quickly enable features that make printing secure, easy and sustainable.

One of PaperCut's strengths over the last 20 years has been to support every printer and operating system. We've stayed true to this vision in this product. PaperCut Hive can enable better printing to most printers/MFPs/MFDs.

MFP/MFD touchscreen embedded software supports on-device secure print release and is available for leading printer brands; and we’re adding more brands as you are reading this. Our goal is to support the same set of brands and modes of printers/MFPs/MFDs as supported by our flagship product PaperCut MF.

PaperCut Hive is currently in Beta and we are working with our global partner network and selected customers during this period. We'll be opening the beta to end customers soon, so if you're a techie, early adopter, or just love testing new stuff, follow our beta journey on the PaperCut Hive Percolator page.

Education has special requirements and PaperCut Hive is not tailored for them. Good examples are print quotas and end-user refunded payment services. Check out PaperCut MF , which is specifically designed for education. Over time we’ll be bringing more cloud technologies to education. Stay tuned for more announcements.

Not yet and deliberately so. We’ve designed PaperCut Hive to be enterprise scalable, with security and reliability at its core. An example of this is using the latest IoT technology such as Edge Mesh. For example, this is similar to what you see in modern lighting and security systems as they continue to work locally even if they lose connectivity to the cloud.

Our initial focus is on small to medium businesses, so we can give more focused and in-depth attention to feature development in the early stages. This means we can mature quickly for enterprise. If you are an enterprise customer and looking for power today please speak to us about our flagship product PaperCut MF which can be self-hosted, on premise or in the cloud.

Computer says yes! It's super easy. The SysAdmin just sends the visitor an email invite so they can self-onboard. Or they can request access themselves by simply scanning the QR code at the MFD’s label.

In some ways yes and in some ways no. PaperCut Hive, like PaperCut MF, integrates directly with the MFD or printer firmware. It provides advanced features (such as secure print release on the device) and usage tracking (such as print, copy, and scanning tracking). It is also a product that's serviced and supported by our global and partner network.

PaperCut Hive is only available as a fully-hosted product. There is no option to self host like PaperCut MF. PaperCut MF is our flagship product and is packed full of features, many of which will make their way into PaperCut Hive gradually over time. Organizations needing the full power of print management should consider PaperCut MF.

Both products are our first products out of our new cloud-native platform. They share a lot of infrastrucutre but they are different in terms of features and functionality.

PaperCut Pocket is designed to be for self-set up and aimed at customers for DIY installation. PaperCut Hive integrates directly with MFDs and printers at the firmware level and contains much more advanced technology and many more features.

We have a global partner network that distributes PaperCut Hive and they have the skills and experience to support you to get the most out of the more advanced technology.

In addition to advanced MFD technology, PaperCut Hive includes a number of advanced Add-ons that empower customers in particular industries. Check out the product information on this page to learn more.

Yes, that's one of the main differences between PaperCut Pocket and PaperCut Hive. We already have this functionality for most major print vendor brands and we’re quickly rounding that out to have the same level of coverage you have grown to expect from us.

We’re working with our global partner network and print manufacturers to ensure the PaperCut Hive MFD embedded software is cloud-ready and supported globally.

Yes, PaperCut Hive supports printing from iPhone or Android mobile devices. Users just need to follow the simple steps in their invitation email to download the PaperCut Hive mobile app. Additionally, they can also use the mobile app that provides a touch-free (contactless) print release experience at the MFP/MFD.

Yes, we support most major card technologies out of the box including proximity cards like MIFARE, HID and NFC technologies. Or if you are into retro tech we can even dust off the good old barcode reader.

No, PaperCut Hive is a true public cloud print management solution and it's fully-hosted for you. It's also a server-free product so there is no requirement for you to maintain a print server. Think of PaperCut Hive as your outsourced print infrastructure.
