HDFS offers both color / black & white printing for faculty, staff and students. Following the protocol below ensures that the printing needs of the overall department are met. This also helps us maintain and sustain this resource for everyone.  

The Ricoh printer is intended primarily for instructional use. 

The Dell color printer is primarily for admin use. Color ink cartridges are very expensive.

The wider department can occasionally use the color printer for small printing jobs (5 pages or less).

The department can support research related printing on the Ricoh (NOT the Dell color printer) within reason.

Poster Printing and big print jobs (e.g. 50 pages or more) will need to be outsourced to Document Solutions. They offer direct billing to UT accounts or self pay. 

The University of Texas at Austin Libraries is no longer offering Poster or large job printing.
