Reese Cluster: Printing Instructions and Charges

Color printing is a service provided by the Reese Cluster using a first come, first served submission server. This means that students send their documents to the color print server, where they are printed in the order received, by the Ccon on duty. The normal turn-around is 48 hours, and the costs are as follows:

HP DesignJet ColorPro GA Printer

HP Bright White Inkjet paper:

8.5"x11" $1.50

11"x17" $3.00

HP Premium Glossy Paper:

8.5"x11" $3.00

11"x17" $6.00

Printing is charged by the square foot because it is the industry standard. You are charged for both the media length and width, not just the ink.
