In the IUB STCs and RTCs, where can I print in color, and what are the costs?

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 UITS printing allotment regularly at:

• 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.

  Note: Credit is not available for unexpected but otherwise usable color output unless the output was damaged due to system malfunction.

• To reduce the incidence of error, and to assure that file specifications are correct for the color printers, the STC consultant on duty will assist with the setup and release of the output to be printed.
  
  
• If you want to print on legal (8.5"x14") or other non-standard page sizes, you must bring your own paper to one of the following Special I/O Facilities at IUB, which are always staffed when they are open with consultants who can help you:
  
  
  • Education 2011
  • Business 415
  • Information Commons
  • Student Building 222
  • Lindley Hall 026
    
    
• 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.

You can find color printers for Windows and Macintosh computers in the following STCs:
