Color printing and graphics printers and plotters in the IUB STCs and RTCs

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 may elect to 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 and UITS cannot
guarantee publication-quality results.
- To reduce errors and to assure that file specifications are
correct for the color printers, ask the consultant on duty for
assistance.
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 following STC Extended Services Locations at IUB:
- Education 2011
- Business 415
- Information Commons
- Lindley Hall 026
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 Help in the Student Technology Centers
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.
