To ensure a printer is available we encourage you to make a reservation, online, before coming to print.
Be advised, before you have access to the reservation site you must sign the Art Agreement form. You may fill it out electronically here or stop at the photo equipment cage, W139, and sign a usage agreement. Electronic forms usually allow access within 24 hours, hand signed forms take longer to process.
Make Reservations here:

Things to Know:
You must be present within 10 minutes of the start of your reservation time or your reservation will be canceled and immediately given to anyone who is waiting for a printer.
Reservations can be made up to 2 weeks in advance. Near the end of the semester make your reservations as soon as possible, as everyone is trying to use the equipment simultaneously!
