Supplies and Costs

We try to keep a supply of standard 8.5" x 11" printer paper available for everyday use. Specialty materials such as cardstock, labels, or photo paper are sometimes available and free to use when present, but availability is not guaranteed. Members are always welcome to bring their own paper and specialty media.

If you are printing a large number of pages or using printers heavily, please consider making a donation to help cover paper, toner, and ink costs. These supplies add up quickly, and member support helps keep printers available and well-maintained for everyone.

Available Printers

Brother MFC-L3770CDW

Use this printer if: you need color documents, scanning, or double-sided prints.

The Brother printer is our primary all-in-one color laser printer, supporting printing, scanning, and copying (fax hardware is present but not in use). It is a solid, general-purpose option for everyday color documents, double-sided prints, and basic office needs. The printer is network-connected and can be accessed by any device connected to the Root Access WiFi, making it the easiest choice for most common printing tasks.

HP LaserJet P2035n

Use this printer if: you are printing lots of text quickly and do not need color.

This is our reliable black-and-white laser printer, ideal for fast, high-volume text printing and everyday documents. It excels at sharp text output and quick turnaround, making it a good choice for drafts, handouts, and instructional materials. The printer is network-connected and available to any device on the Root Access WiFi. It is not intended for photos or graphics-heavy prints, and members are encouraged to use it for efficient, utilitarian printing rather than finished presentation work.

Epson Stylus Pro 3880

Use this printer if: you are making posters, art prints, or anything larger than 8.5" x 11".

This is our wide-format inkjet printer, capable of producing high-quality color and photo prints up to 17x22 inches. It is well-suited for posters, photographs, art prints, signage, and detailed graphics where color accuracy and resolution matter. Because ink for this printer is expensive, usage is billed based on print area to help cover consumable costs. Members are encouraged to do test prints at smaller sizes before committing to large final prints and to supply their own paper whenever possible.
