Printing

LITS maintains printing in the following areas:

LITS Labs

You will need your Mount Holyoke College One-card to print in LITS Computer Labs.
Color and Black printers are available in the LITS Information Commons and the MEWS.
List and locations of the Print Release Stations

Residence Halls

Printers are installed in all residence hall computer labs.
Students are responsible for providing their own paper.
(Must be clean, new paper! Reused paper will make the printers jam.)
Toner is not supplied by LITS; please contact the Residential Life office when toner is low or out.
If the printer is jammed or broken, please inform the Help Desk (x 2600) or place a work order in Trackit.

Departments and Offices

Laser printers are provided to all MHC departments.
Paper Jams, connection problems or questions about use -- please inform the Help Desk at x2600
Hardware problems
- HP brand: Contact the helpdesk
- Kyocera models: call Docusource at the 800 number found on the front of the printer. Have the Equipment ID number ready.
- Xerox MFDs (Multi-Function Devices): call CBS at the 800 number found on the printer. Be ready to provide this information.

How to install drivers for LITS-provided printers
LITS does not provide service nor support for ink-jet printers, fax machines or desktop scanners. We always inform departments that they must purchase an outside support plan and extended warranty when purchasing non-LITS-provided devices. If your service and/or warranty period has expired, then we would be happy to assist in looking for a reputable service company. However, please contact us before making any new purchases or paying for outside repairs -- we may have another solution such as the new multi-function devices that print in color and scan documents as well as make copies.

Large Format Poster Printing

Poster printing is now handled by Auxiliary Services

visit the Auxiliary Services counter at 109 Central Services (where the Card Office is) and bring your digital file
or email: auxiliary-services@mtholyoke.edu
or call them at extension 3111 for further instructions or information

The Auxiliary Services counter is open during the academic year from 8:30-5:00 pm Monday to Friday. Walk up service is available, but the larger the order the more time may be necessary to complete your request.

The fee for printing is based on $4.00 a square foot for print resolution 1440 and $5.00 a square foot for print resolution 2880.

Posters are printed on genuine archival K3 Epson inks and Epson glossy paper. If the poster has a background color other than white, an additional $5.00 charge is added. All files should be scanned or formatted for 300ppi (pixels per inch) at the desired output size. Files are best saved to the .pdf format.
