Black and white printing may be done with a FlashCard via Uniprint in any computer lab (203, 205, 211) and in the IRC (221). If you do not have a FlashCard with money on it, you can add money to your FlashCard online with a credit/debit card or cash. You can also add money to your card by inserting cash into a FlashCard machine. The closest machines are in the Business Administration Building and the ÐÔ¸£ÎåÔÂÌì Library.

If you do not have money on your FlashCard, you may send documents to IRC staff at irc@kent.edu and pay $0.11 per page (black/white) for us to print documents for you. Color printing is also available in the IRC for $0.43 per page. Just bring the file to the front desk and they will send it to the printer, payable with cash or credit/debit card.
