Beginning December 1, 2017 PAW Print pricing will be changing. The Paw Print fleet of printers will be divided into four tiers with varying prices based on print volume. This change has been made to make the PAW Print service sustainable for campus. During the month of November, IT division staff will be adding new stickers to PAW Print printers in the fleet with information about their tier and pricing.
The tiers and associated volume/prices are as follows:
| Tier | Volume (based on B&W Pages per month) | B&W Price | Color Price |
| 1 | <1,600 | $0.16 | $0.35 |
| 2 | 1,601-3,000 | $0.12 | $0.30 |
| 3 | 3,001-6,000 | $0.05 | $0.25 |
| 4 | >6,001 | $0.048 | $0.24 |
Pricing is based purely on printer volume. Students and other CatCash print users will pay the same price as Faculty/Staff. Students should take care to print to Tier 3 or Tier 4 print devices in order to avoid increased costs. All printers in the Technology Commons located in the Hunter Library are Tier 3 or Tier 4.
