Printing at DMC Libraries

Del Mar College Libraries currently offers free printing to all currently enrolled DMC students.

As a print management solution, DMC Libraries has implemented Viking Print to cut down on waste and encourage students to only print what is necessary for academic purposes.

  • When will Viking print start?

    Viking Print will be implemented at all library locations and various other labs across campus at the beginning of Summer 2023.

  • How do I start a Viking Print account?

    Currently enrolled DMC Students automatically receive an account. Log in using your DMC credentials.

  • Viking Print Money / Costs

    At the beginning of each semester, DMC students are given $5.00 total in non-refundable, free Viking Print money. This includes black & white and color prints.

    Staff will limit color prints to 6 sheets per day.

    Unused free Viking Print money is NOT carried over from semester to semester.

    Note: Viking Print money is not actual money. It is free money/credits given for printing purposes ONLY

    Costs per sheet

    • $0.01 - single sided black & white sheets
    • $0.10 - single sided color sheets

     

    Printing is tracked by the student’s user ID and/or email.

    Once the printing allowance has been exhausted or has reached a balance of $.50, students will have the option to request additional Viking Print money.

    NOTE: If the remaining balance is more than $.50, a refill request will not be processed.

    Please allow up to 24 hours for requests to be processed on weekdays and up to 48 hours on weekends.
