Blinn Students cannot print in color on the RELLIS campus.  Blinn faculty have limited color copy abilities there.  Blinn students and faculty needing to print in color can do so at the library on the Bryan campus.  Color copies cost 50 cents each.

Blinn students cannot print in the Learning Resource Center, the library space in room 111 of ACB2.  A student doing research in the LRC could email articles to themselves, save articles to a flash drive or save their work to print.blinn.edu, then print them out in the Schwartz or Administration Buildings.  Students wishing to make copies of reserve materials housed in the LRC could take pictures of their pages with their phones then return to the Schwartz or Administration Buildings to print them out.
