Printer Use and Fees

which printer you use and whether you want your printout in Black
and White or in Color. When in doubt see the Monitor on duty for
assistance.
Black and White printing is fastest and best
quality on our HP LaserJet 6 MP printer that only prints using
a black toner cartridge. Good quality Black and White printing
can also be done on either of the other two printers using black
inkjet cartridges. The fee for a Black and White print job is
5 cents per page including paper on any of the three printers.
Color printing can be done on either of the two InkJet
printers at a fee of 15 cents per page including paper. The
quality of these outputs is quite satisfactory for all ordinary
work and for greeting cards.

InkJet printers, is high resolution color printing suitable
for printing on photo quality paper provided by the member.
This printing mode uses color ink at a high rate.

Monitor will provide, is 50 cents per card. Either of the two
