Background
U.P.E.S, Dehradun has only 2 printing
shops for more that 11,000 students!
Printing at any university campus is fast and usually time sensitive therefore the prices as a whole have went up significantly. This majorly cases a problem for everyone. Especially the bulk printees
Printing is an integral part of a college student's day to day life but high prices are a big hindrance.
Research, Findings & Insights
Qualitive research helped us
to understand the context
of our problem.
I developed a specific set of questions to collect qualitative data to gain participants' input on how the experience was at these printing shops.
These questionnaires were given out to U.P.E.S students to fill out anonymously. There were a total of 122 students that participated. The questionnaires helped us understand the core painpoints of the printing experience.
Problem
Printing shops at universities are
inefficeint and expensive
Printing Errors
The holisic theme of the findings that the users had were frustated due to the inaccurac of printers found at these printing shops and often due to so much comotion orders would get mixed up.
Slow Printing Speed
Students would have to wait at these shops for significantly ange amount of time due to huge differnt between the slow prinitng speed of these printers.
No. of shops/printers
There are only 2 printing shops for students to access, one inside and one right outside of the university campus for more than 11,000 students.
