Printing Overview

• Prints costs are 10¢ per page, 50¢ for color. Print jobs in the Library Lab are sent to the printer behind the Circulation Desk and in Reference they go to the Periodicals Desk.
• The library cannot process the declining balance feature on your University ID; you must pay in cash.
