NYU Print Service

Printing for Students

The NYU Print Service exists to help students meet their on-campus printing needs. In order to start printing, you need:

NYU login information (your NYU NetID and password)
NYU ID Card
Funds in your Print Service account (all students receive a print grant each semester. Learn how to check your balance below.)
Document you want to print
NYU Print Service Station (find one at status.print.nyu.edu)

How to Print

Once submitted, each document stays in your NYU Print Service queue for up to 24 hours and won't be printed until you're at a Print Service Station.

New York campus default print settings: 8.5" x 11", double-sided, black and white

Pro Tip: Install software and print directly from your computer for a faster print experience

Submit your document to mobileprint.nyu.edu one of two ways:

Email it to [email protected] (for black and white) or [email protected] (for color); or

Go to mobileprint.nyu.edu, login using your NYU NetID and password, and follow prompts to upload your document(s). Choose color or black and white as well as single or double-sided.

Supported document formats include:

Microsoft Word

2. Find an NYU Print Service Station printer

Go to any conveniently located NYU Print Service Station. The printer map available at that link will help you find the printer closest to you on our New York campus.

The NYU Print Status tool has a live map that you can use to find printers nearby and see if they have paper, toner, and are functioning correctly. We do our best to keep this information as up-to-date as possible, but if you encounter a broken printer, please report it.

3. Tap your NYU ID Card to pay and print

After tapping your card, the system will locate your print job and provide a quote for the cost of the job. This is your last chance to make changes to the style of print you would like (e.g., double-sided vs. single-sided).

Press Print to confirm your acceptance of the selected options and price quote and print your document.

Please note: Depending on the file size and choice of color vs. black and white, it may take a minute or two for your document to transmit to the printer.

Print Service Costs

Rates

NYU Print Service Stations charge the same prices at all locations:

10¢ per sheet - black and white
75¢ per sheet - color
Have Specialized Printing needs? Read more below.

What does "per sheet" mean? It is the same cost for a single sheet of paper whether you print on one or two sides. Thus, a single-sided page in black and white is 10¢ and a double-sided page in black and white is also 10¢.

Print Grants - Check Your NYU Print Service Account Balance

Students enrolled full-time in degree or diploma programs receive the following print grants per semester:

Important things to know:

Any unused portion of a print grant expires at the end of the semester and the funds cannot be rolled over
Print grants cannot be used for anything other than printing
Unused print grants are not eligible for refund

What do I do about a broken printer?

The short answer is: it depends.

If you encounter a broken printer, we ask that you report it, and then use the NYU Print Status tool to find the closest working Print Service Station.

How to report a broken printer:

Use the Report a Problem button on a printer's page in the NYU Print Status tool. These links are customized to individual printers and will help you reach the right people as quickly as possible. Please note: Repair times will vary based on the issue reported and will not happen instantly.
If there is no Report a Problem button available, some printer locations may have other ways to reach out for help. See below for location-specific details.

Practice Sustainable Printing

Review documents and only print the pages you need. Use "Print Preview" mode to avoid printing unnecessary pages.
Check your settings. Whenever possible, print double-sided and in black & white (color toner has a greater cost and environmental impact).
Save ink. When appropriate, adjust margins and font size to use less paper, and consider ink-saving fonts like Calibri, Century Gothic, or another eco-friendly typeface.

Locations Offered

All NYU locations except Abu Dhabi, Accra, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and Sydney
