Classroom Printing
Limited printing is available in labs during scheduled class hours for class projects only. Faculty are expected to monitor printing abuses during their class. When classes are not in session, classroom printing is disabled. During approved after-hours classroom use, students may select a pay-for-print printer and release their prints from one of our release stations.
Printers in classrooms and labs are set to “Draft” or “Eco-mode” for faster printing and to use minimal ink. For photo or presentation-grade prints, please visit PrintFX and FabLab for professional printing services.
Sustainability at FIT
Our Eco-Friendly Printing Practices
FIT is committed to sustainability and eco-conscious practices. We purchase Energy Star printers whenever possible. Energy Star is a US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that determines the highest standards for energy-saving products. Additionally, we set printers in classrooms and labs to “Draft” or “Eco-mode,” as well as participate in ink recycling programs to minimize our environmental footprint.
