Costs summary
- You only pay the colour rate for pages with colour. If you print a document with both black-and-white and colour pages, you'll only be charged the colour rate for the pages with colour. However, even a small amount of colour (eg a blue link) will trigger the colour rate for that page.
- You can see how much a print job will cost before you release it at a printer via printing online – sign in with your University account and go to Jobs Pending Release.
