Printing Options

The DMC printing room has black & white and color printing capabilities in sizes 8.5×11 and 11×17. Cost is deducted from the $120 yearly print allowance.Always check to make sure you are printing to the correct paper size before you click print.

Depending on your designations--BW and letter, for example, swipe your NU ID on the card readers next to the two small printers on your left (as you face the printers in the print room).
