Solis-id

You can use a personal smart card – for example your OV chip card – to print, photocopy and scan documents. You can then print your print job at any printer in the university. Please note: your personal smart card (RFID) is only used to identify you at the printer. Your print credit is linked to your Solis-id, not the personal smart card you use to identify yourself.

TOP UP PRINT CREDIT

You can top up your print credit via the online portal. Please note: Sometimes, the portal says "failure during topping up". This is often incorrect. Please check your print credit first before trying again.

Visitors of the University Library

Visitors of the University Library can also use the print facilities: read more about it.
