In the IUB STCs and RTCs, where can I print in color, and what are the costs?
On this page:
Guidelines for color printing
- Unlike low cost black-and-white printing, color printing in the
Indiana University Bloomington Student Technology Centers
(STCs) is a premium service and therefore is not
automatically released to the printer. You must explicitly request
that the job be released for printing; this allows you to review your
output before you incur printing costs.
- Color printing charges are recorded on your printing
account when the output is released to the printer.
Note: To avoid unexpected charges on your bursar bill, check your IUB printing allotment or IUPUI printing allocation regularly.
- At the end of each semester, students who have accumulated color
printing charges will find an additional charge for color printing
posted on their bursar account. To avoid these bursar charges,
students can visit the UITS Support Center and pay for their color printing before the semester ends.
Non-students must have sufficient funds deposited in their printing
account before they may print in color.
- Ask the consultant to issue a print credit for any output charged
against your printing account but not printed.
- Color printing is intended for academic purposes; UITS cannot
guarantee publication-quality results.
- To reduce errors and to ensure that file specifications are
correct for the color printers, the consultant on duty will assist you
with the setup and release of the output to be printed.
Note: Credit is not available for unexpected but otherwise usable color output unless the output was damaged due to system malfunction.
- To print on legal (8.5"x14") or other non-standard page sizes,
bring your own paper to one of the STC Extended Services Locations at IUB.
For assistance in these facilities, ask the consultant on duty.
- Some departments (SPEA, Geology, and several others)
have their own color output devices. For information about these
printers, check with the department in which they are located.
- For information on staffing hours, see Where can I find out when the IUB and IUPUI STCs are staffed?
Locations of color printers
Note: Black-and-white output printed from an STC color printer costs the same as color output. The charges are based on which printer you use, not the colors you print.
