Fast Facts: The future of printing

Many students uses GoPrint to bring handouts and reading to class, but change is coming. User Support Services Consultant Cate Lyon and Campus Sustainability Coordinator Tristan Sewell are considering ways to make printing on campus less wasteful and more cost-efficient. Some possibilities being considered are:

• Changing pricing and printing quotes.
• Incentivizing two-sided printing.
• Having leftover GoPrint money roll over at the end of the semester.
• Creating another authentication step to prevent unwanted prints that waste money and paper.
• Encouraging faculty to allow students to digitally access readings for class.
