We charge 10 cents per page for B/W - we don't provide color printing in the library but it is available downstairs in the English & Study Skills Center for 50 cents per page. We charge the same for B/W and color photocopies.
We use GoPrint and use the same cards for both Xerox copy machines and printers. GoPrint can be used with different prices at different printers...

No - but if you might be interested in aspects of the iSpheres project - developed at the University of Sydney.
http://www.ispheres.org/
"ISpheres provide a distributed interoperable solution to serving a range of data - from images, sound, video and text to databases and GIS datasets. Each ISphere can manage several heterogeneous collections of digital objects, translate metadata specific to each collection into a common interoperable format, and serve digital objects transformed as required by the requesting application.
ISpheres include their own web services, so they can be installed on any Internet-connected computer with the Java runtime, making their digital object collections discoverable, searchable, transformable and downloadable. Individual ISpheres are registered with a global directory at www.ispheres.org, making them and their collections discoverable.
Any ISphere can search and retrieve data from any other ISphere (subject to
authorisation) and present the results in an integrated list of resources, as well as serving data on-demand to client applications. Communication with an iSphere is through SOAP/XML."

Whilst taking a look at Greenstone as a possible solution for a digital image collection, I realized that Flikr has some collaboration attributes that might be helpful to our project. Does anyone know of opensource software that would allow us to create and host an image database combining the metadata functionality of Greenstone or DSpace, the collaborative aspects of Flikr, and the customizability of WordPress?
thanks

Hi,
We have received a grant from the government to install colour laser printers on the networks for the public. In our libraries, we charge for printing. Heretofore, we only provided black and white copies. Now that we have the option of colour the issue of charging different rates arises. The colour printer uses four toners (cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black) whereas the black and white printer uses one toner. This presumably will not quadruple the cost. Few colours will require the use of all four toners and four popular colours require only one toner.
We are thinking of charging three times as much for a colour copy as for a black and white copy. Are our assumptions correct? Does colour printing cost approximately three times as much as black and white printing? We are only interested in recovering the cost of printing, not the cost of the printer.
Secondly, when a user clicks on print, we would like them to be given the option of choosing colour or black and white. Is there any software that will do this for us? At the moment the user has to go into properties and make the change here. It is difficult to always remember to do this and it is somewhat unfair to penalize someone for this oversight. In many of our libraries, the printer is at the circulation desk. The user goes to the circulation desk to receive their copies.
This means that we do not need a print server solution. In our larger libraries we use LPT1. Is there cheap software that will simply prompt the user to choose colour or black and white copies?
Regards
John

hi everyone -
when google released the free version of sketchup, a 3D modeling program, i couldn't help but think this might be an excellent tool for youth and adults to describe the ideal library they would like to use. what shape would this library be in? and what services would be offered in the different rooms of the library?
http://sketchup.google.com
what could we as library practioners learn from the imaginations of those who use our libraries? and how would the people who use our libraries feel about themselves if we asked them for their ideas?

see also http://www.his.com/pshapiro/communitycontent.html
i'm thrilled to see that google has created a 3D Warehouse for 3D sketchup images to reside. will the library community be one of the first communities to populate that warehouse? is our community a creative leader or a follower?

John,
One solution would be to have two printers available for printing -- one being your new color printer and the other being a plain B&W. Make the B&W the default printer, but have the color also available so that people wanting to use it can select it from the print dialog box. That way you are less likely to have people printing in color by mistake. You can even put the price of the copies in the printer name so that they will know what they are getting into when they select a printer.
We charge 10 cents for B&W copies and 25 for color at our library, but have never done any kind of cost study. I'd be interested to learn if someone has.

While we only have a B/W printer, a few months back, I posted a similiar "what do you charge" question and remember being amazed at the costs. B/W averaged 10-20c a page, but colors averaged $1-$1.50 a page. I remember someone replied that their colors were $3 per page!
Hope this helps,

Our campus recently looked a bit at charges for printing across campus labs.
We found that on our own campus there is a very wide range of charges, from free to quite expensive. Correspondingly there is a range of reasons given for the chosen charges, from cost recovery to saving trees to subsidizing particular instructional uses of printing or using low cost printing as a way to attract users to other services. Those units who use cost recovery as a criterion report widely different prices, suggesting that the details of what printer you choose, what your volume is, how you account for maintenance and support, and how you manage the service can have a big impact on your actual costs.
Costs for b&w printing have been fairly stable for several years, but the cost of color printing and copying is falling quite quickly, mostly due to economies of scale and reductions in fixed costs rather than cost per page.
Note that if you are doing color printing you may also want to consider various specialized color printing services (large formats, transparencies, glossy stock, etc.) which often have wildly different costs. Also, toner costs vary widely depending on type of print job -- a web page with 5% spot color is very different from a full page photo.
You might also look at commercial providers for insight. Our local Kinko's charges $.08 for single sided b&w on 8.5"x11" plain paper, and $.89 for single sided color. I believe that most universities can get their actual costs down substantially below that for color, but I suspect the differential between mono and color is currently more like 5x than the proposed 3x.
