ICTS intend to drop their student A4 black and white printing costs to 7c soon. When they implement this, the Library will also drop the cost of both printing and photocopying from 9c and 10c to 7c at the same time. Now that the charging for photocopying is on a per page basis the costs are very similar to printing and a single price is easier to explain to students. Colour copying and Copy Centre charges will not change. The costs of printing have dropped due to the Ricoh deal and the increase in duplex printing which reduces the paper costs, but in any case we have no option but to follow ICTS charging in order to maintain efficient services to students.
