Printing Costs: A Students Perspective
- 250 FREE prints (duplex counts as two prints) valued at $25.00
- After using this, it will be 10 cents per page (with duplex/double-sided prints costing 20 cents)
Color printers are still located on the first floor in the Computer lab, which is using the same log-in system as the second floor Reference Lab. Be sure to have your CLC ID Number, LogIn ID, and password either physically with you or memorized, because you MUST use these to log onto the systems. As always, don't be afraid to ask your librarians or other staff for help. Happy Printing!
