About Pharos Uniprint
Pharos Uniprint is an on-premises print management solution for higher education and libraries.
Pharos Uniprint is a specialized, on-premises print management solution purpose-built for higher education institutions and libraries. It focuses on cost recovery and document security, offering features like secure pull-printing, user-level quotas, and comprehensive reporting. By centralizing print management, it allows IT administrators to control diverse, multi-vendor printer fleets from a single web-based interface. The platform is designed to handle the unique requirements of campus environments, including support for mobile and Chromebook printing, which helps modernize the student experience while maintaining strict control over printing expenditures. While Pharos has expanded into cloud-native solutions with its Pharos Cloud platform, Uniprint remains a robust choice for organizations that require on-premises or private cloud infrastructure for their print operations. Buyers should note that while the software is highly capable, it is specifically tailored for the education sector, and enterprise businesses may find the Pharos Blueprint or Pharos Cloud platforms more aligned with their needs.
