Print Station Directions & Printing Costs

Go to a print station to release the document to a printer in the library. It may take a few minutes for your job to appear on the Print Release Station. If you don’t see your print job the first time you swipe your card, wait a minute and swipe your card again. Follow the instructions at the Print Release Station for printing your document. Standard CCSU printing charges apply.

Standard printing charges are as follows:

  • One-sided (Simplex) B&W: $0.05 per page

  • One-sided (Simplex) Color: $0.25 per page

  • Two-sided (Duplex) B&W: $0.04 per side (total of $0.08) for one page printed both sides

  • Two-sided (Duplex) Color: $0.20 per side (total of $0.40) for one page printed both sides

Students need to have money on their Blue Chip ID card to print.
