What is BlasterPrint?
BlasterPrint is our campus-wide printing service. The BlasterPrint service is funded by student tech fees for student use and IT department funds for employee use.
Each student's account receives an $8 credit at the beginning of each semester. If a student runs out of printing credits, they add money to their BlasterPrint balance using the instructions in the adding funds section below. Any funds added by a student will roll over year over year while they are enrolled at Mines.
If you have a file to print, submit it to the BlasterPrint queue by following the instructions below, then find a release station (located in most buildings across campus) to initiate the printing.
