Do students print for free?

• $65 is allocated to each students printing account in PaperCut at the start of the academic year
• This allocation is implemented to help reduce paper and ink waste
• Every print job that is released will debit from this amount

How much does it cost to print? 

• Each page side printed will debit from your allocation:
  • Color page: $0.10
  • Black & White page: $0.01 
• Double-sided printing is preferred to reduce waste and impact on the environment

How do you check your print balance?

• Check your print balance by logging into PaperCut from the myElmhurst Portal and then clicking on the Summary page
• Your available printing balance will appear in the Balance section

What will happen if you reach my printing limit? 

• You will receive an email notification if your printing balance falls beneath $5.00
• You may purchase additional printing credits in increments of $5.00 through TouchNet.

What happens to any unused allocation at the end of the academic year?

• Your allocation refreshes each August, and any unused allocated funds are wiped
• If you have purchased any extra printing credits through TouchNet, they will carry over to the next academic year 

Can I receive a refund if a job fails to print properly?

• Charges for missing or defective print jobs are eligible for a refund
• Refund requests must be made within 7 days of the print job date using the PaperCut app on myElmhurst Portal 
• To make a request:
  • Select the Recent Print Jobs tab
  • Click the Request Refund link next to the job that experienced an issue 

How will my printing allocation be affected if I need to print as a student employee? 

• When using printers in campus offices, print jobs will always be billed to departments and will not be debited from student printing quotas
• Copy cards will be available in offices that can be used by student employees to charge copies to departments.

If you have any questions about printing on campus, please contact the OIS Service Desk by email at servicedesk@elmhurst.edu
