Free printing and copying
Students can print and copy without charge using the Trust student printers
How to print and copy
Printing for academic purposes is free of charge for students. You might see messages on the printer control screen asking you to pay at the counter, but you do not need to do this. Here are the number pages you can print during one session:
| Double-sided | A4 black and white 100 A4 colour 25 A3 black and white 42 A3 colour 17 |
| Single-sided | A4 black and white 42 A4 colour 20 A3 black and white 30 A3 colour 15 |
Student printers and copiers are available on the ground floor of the Tavistock Centre in the library space and the Student Work Space, and you can print directly from the PCs in those areas. You can also print jobs from your own device by either emailing them to the PrintMe System or uploading to the PrintMe website.
Free printing is only available for academic purposes related to your course or research. Please be considerate of the environment and use double-sided printing when possible, to limit how much paper you use.
You must also comply with copyright regulations when copying or printing, details of which are displayed next to the machines.
Most students won’t need to register for a printer login. Disabled students and students with learning difficulties should contact the library to discuss getting a login for enhanced copying and printing limits. More information on concessions for disabled students.
