Printing

Printing is available at all locations.

Cost

Printing cost depends on paper size and ink type. Double sided printing is available, but each side counts as a separate page in your total cost.

  • Letter size (8.5″ x 11″), black and white: $0.10 per side.
  • Letter size (8.5″ x 11″), color: $0.25 per side.
  • Legal size (8.5″ x 14″), black and white: $0.20 per side.
  • Legal size (8.5″ x 14″), color: $0.50 per side.

You can pay with a credit card at Main Library. All other locations are cash only and can accept nickels, dimes, quarters, $1 bills, and $5 bills.

Mobile printing

When you’re ready to print, you can send your file to the printer from one of our public computers. To do that, you’ll need to sign on using a library card or computer use card.

You can also print to a library printer from your own device using the Princh service. With this option, you can send the file from wherever you are, and it will be waiting for you in the print queue at the location you select. No library card is required. To retrieve your print job, go to that location, log in to the print release computer using your email address, select your job, and pay. (If you haven’t come in by the end of the day, the job will be deleted.) Your cost for using mobile printing is the same as if you print from a library computer.

There are three different ways you can use mobile printing: sending an email, uploading to a website, or using an app.

Email

Send or forward an email with attachment(s) directly to the printer:

Main Library (300 N. Roxboro Street)

East Regional Library (211 Lick Creek Lane)

North Regional Library (211 Milton Road)

South Regional Library (4504 Alston Avenue)

Southwest Regional Library (3605 Shannon Road)

Bragtown Branch Library

Notes:

  • Your email will send two print jobs: one for the email and one for the attachment. You can delete the job with the email message if you don’t need it.
  • Two-sided printing is not available with this option.

Website

Select the library location where you want to print:

From there, upload your file. Then adjust the settings and enter your email address.

App

Search for Princh in your device’s app store. Once you have the app installed, follow the in-app instructions to submit your print job.
