Charges

The printing paper the Library offers come in 3 models in width only:

  • 0.635m (25″)
  • 0.82m (32″, not in Common Size)
  • 0.914m (35″)
 

The cost before value-added tax is calculated based on the below formula:

Cost = 44.5 * Square Meters + 30

For example: If the actual poster print size is 0.635m * 1.8m: for university business use, the cost will be 0.635 * 1.80 * 44.5 + 30 = 81 RMB; for personal use, value-added tax (VAT) rate is 6%, the cost will be (0.635 * 1.80 * 44.5 + 30) * 1.06=85.86 RMB.
