Because managing a printer at home isn't easy, many neighborhood print cafes have sprung up. Two unmanned print cafes are located side by side at Seodaemun Station. Print Cafe 24 and Clopi24It was. Compare prices, conditions, etc. of two placesI'll try!
1. Competition for unmanned printing cafes in front of universities
Kyunghee University's Seoul campus is located at Seodaemun Station.
So, during the semester, it's a place where a lot of college students gather. Is that why? An unmanned print cafe is located next to the underground passage connected to the Seodaemun Station subway.is located.
Unmanned print cafes have been popping up a lot lately, but I wondered if there was enough demand to have two right next to each other. This sparked my curiosity. What are the differences, what are the prices, and which is more convenient?
2. Print Cafe24 vs. Clappy24
✅ Print Cafe24
Print Cafe24 seems a bit big A representative unmanned print cafe that is easily found near the station.Is that why?
Each store is clean, the products and consumables are well managed, and it is easy to use, so it is used by many people.
It was a quiet weekend afternoon, so there weren't many people, but during peak student hours, the store is often so crowded that there are lines of about three printers and computers per store.
You can easily print documents by connecting the file you brought to your computer via USB or by loading it from the Internet.
✅ Output order

- Insert your credit or check card into the terminal.

✅ Print price information
In fact, this might be the question most people are curious about at unmanned printer cafes. They can print, copy, and print on a variety of paper sizes, including A4, B4, and A3, and recently, scanning has been reduced to 10 won.
I think it was originally 100 won, but I think the price was adjusted due to the emergence of competitors. From a consumer's perspective, lower prices due to the emergence of competitors are a welcome development.
- A4 standard

| black and white | 70 won | 70 won | 10 won | 500 won |
| Color | 250 won | 250 won | 10 won | – |
✅ military facilities
A separate space is provided for organizing printed materials. You can staple or pin them, and QR codes and spare UP cards are provided for recharging.
📢 Our neighborhood print shop, Clappy24
It is certain that the first place that started to appear was Print Cafe 24. This Clappy24 store is a latecomer with the concept of 'Print in our neighborhood'.It seems to be.
I searched the website and found that there are over 100 print shops in Seoul and one even operates in Jeju Island, so it seems like they are already quite well known.
📢 Store atmosphere
I found it a bit odd that the signature color was the same blue as Print Cafe24, albeit in a different shade. As a latecomer, I felt it would have been better to maintain a slightly different tone to differentiate myself.
The store's atmosphere felt relatively dark. From a customer's perspective, the brightness of the lighting wasn't a major concern. All they needed was for the print to be flawless. And since they typically only print one or two copies, price was paramount.
📢 Print Price Information
omg! The prices are even the same. Since there's no mention of B4 paper provided by Print Cafe24, it seems B4 isn't included in the print specifications. However, from a consumer's perspective, the fact that the price is the same makes it easy to use either location. So, what are the differences?
📢 What sets Clapi24 apart?
Print Cafe24 has a printer attached to each computer that can print directly. However, Clappy has three computers and one copier.is located.
This means that prints from three computers are all output to a single copier. While this may be a good choice for the environment and the store owner, I wondered if the paper would be mixed or have to wait for multiple pages to be printed simultaneously from each computer. This is unlikely, though.
Clappy24 can print, copy, scan, and fax just like the computers in the store. A format that can be printed anywhere in the country, as it uses a temporary PIN number to print on personal laptops, all PCs, tablets, and smartphones.am.
Payments can be made via credit or debit cards, as well as T-money, Zero Pay, and Kakao Pay! For more detailed instructions, visit the Clappy24 website below.
In closing
From a consumer perspective, it's great to see unmanned print cafes conveniently operating in every home, even without a printer. While not frequent, there are times when it's absolutely necessary. Then, another competitor, Clappy24, opened in the neighborhood. The variety of payment methods and cloud-based services offered a refreshingly new experience.
We will continue to watch the competition between these two and wonder which company will survive.
