Printing

MassArt utilizes Papercut, a print management software which is connected to users' NetID. Each enrolled student at the College receives a quota of $25 which approximates to 833 pages in black and white or 71 pages in color laser prints. Each enrolled student receives a print quota each semester. When this quota is reached, users pay for printing. Funds can be added using top-up cards available at the Campus Bookstore or via the Office of Financial Assistance for students with financial hardship. 

To add money to your account:

  • Obtain a top-up card from the campus bookstore or Office of Financial Assistance. They are available in increments of $5, $10, $20, and $50
  • Visit Papercut and click on "Redeem card" in the menu on the left of the screen
  • Enter the code on the front of the card
