Purchasing Printer Pages
Ninja printer pages can be purchased by faculty, staff and students with active UNI accounts in increments of $5.00 at the cost of $.10 per black and white page. Color printing costs $1.00 per page.

Pages can be purchased at the Service Desk on the 2nd floor of the Hammer Library, or by logging in to myUNI and selecting the Purchase Pages link.

These purchased pages remain on your account until they are used. They may also be used on both Morningside and the Medical Center campus, unlike student page quotas. You can check your existing pages and printing history by logging in to myUNI and selecting the Check Your Print Quota link.
