The Clausthal University of Technology Computer Center operates a number of public printers. These are located in the university library and in some PC pools. There are also printers in various halls of residence, which are primarily intended for use by residents.

To be able to print, you need sufficient credit on your user account and a connection to the TU network. Printing from outside is possible with a VPN connection.

The prices are identical for most printers and range from €0.03 per page on A4 in b/w to €0.30 for a color print in A3 format.

Larger printouts in formats up to DIN A0, e.g. for posters, are possible with the large format inkjet printers in the computer center. To do this, you need to register once by sending a short e-mail to support@rz.tu-clausthal.de.

When you collect your printout, you pay for it as a student in cash or with available print credit. If you are printing on behalf of an institute (e.g. as an employee), you will always need a material slip with the institute's stamp and cost center. If in doubt, ask the institute secretariat. The costs for the respective production will then be entered in the material certificate by the computer center.

Printouts of a commercial nature are not permitted and will be destroyed and the costs incurred will be charged.

As a student, you are entitled to one free print credit (Free) per semester, which is provided from study quality funds. Unused free print credit expires at the end of the semester. In addition, you can top up your credit account (cash) with cash at the information desk in the University Library and at the RZ-Helpdesk in the Computer Center.

The costs are debited automatically when printing with the public printers. If available, the free print credit is always used up first. The option to transfer cash credit (not free credit), as well as details of your print jobs and your account balance, can be found in the personal print portal. Use your user ID to log in.
