Ecoprint St Barth
The island's go-to reprography shop tucked into Lorient's Oasis mall
Why Go
Ecoprint isn't a lodging or a beach club — it's the small, eco-minded print shop locals rely on for everything from boarding-pass reprints to villa-welcome booklets, and it quietly solves the one problem no one wants on a sunny St Barth morning: the printer at your rental doesn't work.
The Experience
Set inside the Centre Commercial de l'Oasis in Lorient — the workaday mid-island hub that keeps St Barth actually functioning between yacht arrivals — Ecoprint is a bright, air-conditioned shop that punches well above its size. Founded in 2005, it has grown into the island's reference reprography and IT-supplies address, with a pared-back showroom of printers, cartridges, paper stocks and small office equipment on one side, and a service counter on the other where staff handle scans, large-format prints, business cards, laminations and photo reproductions. The vibe is efficient rather than glamorous: think of it as the island's back-office, where villa managers, charter crews, wedding planners and the occasional stranded traveler come to fix a small crisis. The 'eco' in the name is real — the shop leans into low-energy machines, refill programs and recycled paper options, which fits St Barth's growing sustainability push.
What to Try
Same-day color printing for menus, seating charts or itineraries you forgot to print at home; a fresh set of glossy photo prints from the day's boat trip; a scan-and-email of a document your charter broker needs signed; or a quick ink-cartridge swap if you brought a portable printer to your villa. They also stock USB drives, SD cards and adapters — genuinely useful when your GoPro fills up mid-vacation.
Insider Tip
Cash-strapped for time before catching a flight from Rémy de Haenen? Ecoprint is five minutes from the airport by car and far faster than trying to print in Gustavia, where parking eats your buffer. Call ahead on +590 590 87 48 99, email the file, and pick up on your way to the terminal — they're used to last-minute yacht and airline paperwork.
