What kind of printing jobs do we do?
We print jobs that are black ink and color ink involving any quantitiy of copies. These projects can either be designed internally by Reprographics Center staff or brought in "camera-ready", which means the material is ready to copy, with no proofing or additional design work required by Reprographics. In the latter case, the person submitting the document is responsible for proofreading it. |
|
Do we offer color copying?
Yes - Our Xerox Workcentre Pro C3549 is equiped for color prints from 8.5" x 11.5" to 11" x 17" sizes. |

What kind of equipment do we have?
Most quick printing is accomplished on our Xerox DocuTech Center®. This equipment provides the following features:
- Accepts originals from 5.5” x 8.5” to 12” x 18”
-
Can output plain paper, transparencies, labels, letterhead, pre-printed forms, and hole-punched paper from 5.5” x 8.5” to 11” x 17” in size and from 16 to 110 pounds in weight.
- Accepts up to 100 originals at once.
- "Build Booklet" feature to create saddle-stitched booklets.
- Two-sided printing.
This equipment enables Reprographics staff to provide you with a quick turn-around time in many cases, within 24 hours for basic copying except at peak times like the start of the semester. Additional services including special binding, cutting, folding and special paper orders will require additional turn-around time. We also have a “walk-up” copier for small jobs. |
|
What kind of paper is available?
We store several types of paper for your printing needs. When you bring by your order, you may choose the stock needed from samples of the various colors and weights of papers we currently have in stock. If a special paper is needed, please inquire. We may have something special on reserve or may know where to order it. If we need to order paper for your job, please plan ahead. Ordering a special paper can take from three to ten days and may also cost more than papers in stock. |
|
How do we put it all together?
Our bindery area is equipped to handle all standard bindery functions including folding, cutting, collating, stitching, padding, and hole punching. Special services such as die-cutting, laminating, perfect binding, foiling, or embossing are procured through outside sources and will require additional time and cost. |
