Print at UIndy via Print Release Stations
The following sections provide information relating to various topics about Print Release Stations.

Alternately, you can mobile print. You may print to a print release station from any device, including your mobile phone or tablet, by emailing an attachment to mobileprint@uindy.edu from your UIndy email account.

All UIndy account holders receive a $25 printing allotment ($0.05/printed side for black and white & $0.25/printed side for color) at the beginning of each semester according to the schedule below:
- Fall semester: Monday prior to the first day of classes
- Winter semester: Monday prior to the first day of classes
If you exceed your printing allotment for the semester, Crimson Cash will be charged $0.05/printed side for black and white & $0.25/printed side for color when printing to a print release station. Unused printing allotments will not carry over to the next semester and may not be used for other Crimson Cash purchases.
Your printing balance is the difference between the total balance shown at any print release station and your Crimson Cash balance.
To determine just your printing balance, you must subtract your Crimson Cash total from the balance shown at any print release station. Crimson Cash balances are available from the automated refill station or the Office of Student Affairs (Schwitzer Student Center 210).
Printing Balance = Total from print release station - Crimson Cash total
