 <p>The school uses a service called PaperCut that allows us to managed and track printing throughout the school.  Every student is supplied with $30 in free credits at the beginning of every semester.  If all of those credits are consumed in one semester, students must add credits themselves via their PaperCut account portal.  PaperCut also offers software that allows students and faculty the ability to add the various computer lab laser printers to their own device, be it a PC or Mac, Android or iOS device, or even Chromebooks.  The PaperCut account portal is also the best way to submit files to Media Services for fine art or large format printing.  See below for information about all of these services.</p>

-<li>You can save money by combining prints together in whatever software you're working in.  For example, you can combine two 8.5"x11" images into one 17"x11" image by placing them side-by-side and saving it as one file.  Then you'll be charged $3 instead of $4.  The cost saving increases depending on how many files you combine up to 44" wide.</li>
+<li>Prints are charged by length, so you can save money by combining multiple images into one wide image on whatever software you’re working in. The goal is to achieve the shortest length possible by placing the longest edge of your images widthwise and not exceeding the maximum width of 44”. For example, an 8” x 10” image on standard paper printed by its longest edge (10”) would be $2.50, as opposed to printing it by its shortest edge (8”) for $2.00. If you were to combine two 8” x 10” images into one 8” x 20” image within the 44” width bounds, then you’ll be charged $2.00 for one print of two images instead of $4.00 for two separate prints.</li>
