New Print Accounting System: One Month In

In compiling the results of our first month of a new print accounting system, we are struck by some remarkable early results of reduced waste and new interest in alternatives to paper printing. As we prepare to distribute the first monthly charges to departments, please be reminded of the important changes effective October 1st, 2009:

A uniform per-impression price of 3.5 cents is charged on all distributed campus black & white photocopiers and computer printers. Color photocopies and computer prints are charged at 10 cents per impression (a double-sided copy or print job is two impressions).

The 3.5 cent per-impression charge is all-inclusive, so supplies such as paper and toner will no longer be charged back to departmental budgets. Instead, Central Services will bill each department monthly for actual copy and print usage. Departments will still order toner from cartridge care and paper from the copy center. The uniform per-impression price reflects the real, converged costs of photocopying and printing based on last year's use. For photocopying, this per-impression price is a half-cent reduction from last year.

Photocopy accounting will continue to be based on a numeric budget code entered, while computer print accounting is based on network logins (so, no need for printing codes akin to the current copier codes). This means that the accounting is portable; your department will be charged for any computer prints you originate, to any campus printer from any campus computer you use. The system will more accurately reflect your real use. Individuals will be able to check their personal printing usage online any time at http://iprint.augsburg.edu/quota . Departmental student workers will be able to request refunds online for prints they did while working which will then be added to the department's printing total.

Further information can be found at http://www.augsburg.edu/it/printing.html .
