The idea

narrowin hardware is connected, at no cost, to a printer inside the care home. Through a web interface built specifically for the purpose, friends and relatives can send greetings and pictures directly to the home — simply, and without any fuss.

No app to install, no account to set up. A message written from a kitchen table arrives, printed, where someone will be glad to receive it.

The print(joy) web interface: write a greeting, enter the home's postal code, and a test print confirms it arrived

Why narrowin built it

print(joy) is not a product and was never meant to be one. It is a small piece of hardware and a simple web page, free to use, that lets relatives send greetings and pictures directly to a resident in a care home. The project lives at freudedrucken.narrowin.ch (in German).
