Color printing is available to facility clients in the Life Sciences Microcomputer Facility (LSMF - 2105 Valley Life Sciences Building) and the Moffitt Microcomputer Facility (MMF - 1st floor Moffitt Library).
The fee for color printing is $0.60 per color page. W&MF provides high-resolution paper for your convenience or you can "manually feed" your own paper, with the exception of transparancies.
A $3.00 credit buffer is provided for all printing (black & white and color) to accomodate for printer, toner, user and consultant errors. Clients can purchase paper credits in $12.00 increments, which cover both color printing and regular printing. Note: Black & white pages printed to the color print queue will still cost $0.60 per page.
UC Berkeley recently converted all UClink accounts to the new campus email system called CalMail. Email sent to addresses at @uclink.berkeley.edu will automatically arrive at the new CalMail accounts at @berkeley.edu. Usernames will remain the same, but emails should now be addressed to <username>@berkeley.edu.
Users now have the option of using either the old webmail client at Bearmail or the new webmail client at the CalMail site. CalMail email can also be accessed through mail programs such as Mozilla Thunderbird, Microsoft Outlook, or Eudora.
