Campus Printing Will Moving Into a New Era of Technology

Posted on by
The Enterprise Campus Printing Team will be presenting to the Board a recommendation to move the campus copy/printing into a new era of technology. Today will end our contract with the current vendor so you will expect to see them taking last meter readings and looking for extra toner cartridges in your area. If you have a spare toner in your area and your machine display shows low toner, please put the new toner in before 2 pm today. Print Solutions is working with a new supplier for toner and staples to maintain the current devices on campus until the new devices are deployed. Stay current with GRCC Today for continual information as we move in a more effective and efficient way of campus printing.
