The following equipment and facilities may require a demo.

Ink Billing

The inkjet printers in the Photography, Video, and Digital Media Department run on the CHASS ink billing system. Students registered in most photography classes are given an account and a balance based upon their course material fees for the quarter. 

Your individual ink balance and printing status can be viewed at https://chassintranet.ucr.edu/apc/

When an ink account balance runs low students can recharge their account via check or money order. Payments are made to UC REGENTS and submitted to JASON GOWANS

The easiest and quickest way to submit a check is though a 3rd party platform called Checkbook https://checkbook.io 

Checkbook links to your bank account much like Venmo or PayPal and allows students to securely send checks via email for the cost of $1 per check. Checkbook is not affiliated with the UC Riverside or the Art Department. If any errors occur through use of this platform it is the responsibility of the student to resolve issues Directly with Checkbook.
