Zerocopy is a Belgian firm which hasn’t stolen its name; their slogan is indeed print your document for free.

Who can print for free? 
Any student can signup on zerocopy.be without any hassle.  You can signup via mail or Facebook. You start with 50 prints a week, which saves you about 2€ a week printing documents at a copy shop you only read and then dispose of, enough to pay for your sweet coffee. If you invite friends or complete your personal profile, you’ll get extra points/prints, at a maximum of 500 which is 20€.

If you use this service at 500 prints a week: you would save 1040€ a year as a student.

A normal student will reach around +- 150 a week for printing all articles they could find this would result in a saving of 312€ a year!

What’s the catch? 
There is no real downside, to be honest, the only thing that these prints include are advertisements.

Your copies are printed in black and white with a big ad every five pages and a small advertisement on all pages.

Are those commercials annoying?
