“Mimeo.com and Scribd are similar companies as we are both rewriting the future of our respective industries,” said Adam Slutsky, Chief Executive Officer of Mimeo.com. “We are honored that they have selected Mimeo technology and print production services to monetize their content and provide value to their customers.”
Mimeo is leading the shift to cloud print services by removing the barriers associated with the implementation of a digital print solution, such as cost and technical complexity. Now partners can leverage any and all parts of the Mimeo solution as if it were their own. The Mimeo open platform offers entrepreneurial companies a turnkey way to incorporate print into their product offering."
“Many Scribd customers would prefer to read printed versions of available documents, but weren’t able to due to barriers such as lack of access to a printer, document length and cost,” said Trip Adler, CEO and co-founder of Scribd. “With the Mimeo open platform, Scribd was able to quickly implement a solution that offers our readers a convenient, easy to use and cost effective solution that makes printing a seamless experience. Customers can request a printed version of any eligible document in minutes and have it delivered to their doorstep in days.
