Pricing Information

There is a nominal fee for the use of the machines in the DFL. That fee may be for run-time, materials, or both. To expedite the payment process individuals can use our online payment system. This allows users to pay for services/materials immediately and leave with their final product. Some services offered by the DFL may be covered by course fees, this will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. If the job you are working on pertains to a course you are currently enrolled in, make sure to notify the staff so they may assess whether your course fees cover your lab usage. Otherwise, the individual will need to pay for the job and materials upon completion.

 

The following list may not reflect current inventory. Stop by the DFL to check our stock while planning your project. If you need to order materials, please see our Suppliers page and check with the technician before ordering to ensure your material is permissible to the lab.

NOTE: The cost for roll paper printing is calculated by the square foot. Use the equation below to determine the cost of your print to avoid any un-welcomed surprises.

 

LENGTH × WIDTH ÷ 144 = total square footage. 

For the 24″ x 18″ image below: 

24″ × 18″ = 432″    then    432″ ÷ 144″ = 3′

The image is a total of 3 square feet. If this were to be printed on Enhanced Matte paper, we would find your total cost to be:

3 square feet × $1.10 per square foot = $3.30
