ARCHIVED: In the IUB STCs, what do I need to know about color printing?

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

At Indiana University Bloomington, you can send color output from any Windows Student Technology Center (STC) computer to any color printer in the STCs. For a listing of color printer and plotter locations, and applicable fees, see ARCHIVED: Print in color in the STCs and RTCs If you have questions not covered here, see the consultant on duty, or call 812-855-3802.

Note: Any page printed from a color print device will be charged the color rate, even if the output is a black-and-white page.

You must release output routed to a color printer by logging into the adjacent release station, selecting your document, and then clicking Print. If your location has no release station, ask the consultant on duty to release your color output. If no consultant is available, call 812-855-3802 for assistance.
All printing in the STCs is charged against your UITS printing account when it is sent to the printer, not when it actually prints. As a result, if you send output to a color printer and then change your mind about printing it, your account will still be charged. If you decide not to print something sent to a color printer, you must ask a consultant to issue a print credit. If no consultant is available, call 812-855-3802 for assistance.
Note: Your bursar bill will be charged if you do not request credit for unprinted color output. You should request the print credit as soon as possible, and you must do so in the same semester the charges were incurred.
You can verify that a credit is issued by checking your printing allotment at:

There is a per-page charge for using color laser printers. This charge varies depending on the printer you use.
There is a per-plot charge for the use of color plotters. This charge varies depending upon the plotter you use, not the size of the plot. Oversized plots (larger than 3 x 4.5 feet) are discouraged. Frequent use of oversized plots may result in additional fees.
