FAQ's
Sinclair has implemented a pay-for-print system in order to provide better quality printing and reduce printing waste.
Sinclair provides you with $7.50 in free prints (the equivalent of 150 pages of 8 ½ x 11 single-sided black and white pages) every quarter to offset the charges of printing in the GoPrint system. You will not actually be charged for printing until you have used all of your free prints. When the amount of free prints is used up, funds on the user’s Sinclair Tartan Card will be used to pay for the printing in the labs.
Black and White 8 ½ x 11 = $.05 per page, double sided printing = $.04 per page, 11 x 14 = $.15 per page, 11 x 17 = $.25 per page
Color 8 ½ x 11 = $.25 per page, double sided printing = $.36, 11 x 14 = $.40 per page, 11 x 17 = $.50 per page, plotter $.50 per page
