The print shop is equipped with a high speed digital Xerox Nuvera 120 copier. Which is connected to the network. This assures the printing quality is at it's highest. Each copy is printed as an original. The offset printing is done with a two-headed A.B. Dick 9810 printing press. The Print Shop can make copies in black and/or red ink or color. The Print Shop also has a DocuColor 3535 for multiple color copies. If your job has many different originals with different quantities then you might consider physically bringing your job to us. If this is a print job that is used on a repeat basis then inform us to keep an original on file and just fill out the following questionnaire with a detailed description of the form to be printed. We will then pull the original on file and perform the requested functions detailed on the questionnaire.

We also have several “hot” colors in 8.5 X 11 paper only. 11 X 17 comes only in white. In addition to paper, the Print Shop carries a heavier index card stock. The card stock comes in 8 colors and in 8.5 X 11 only. The Print Shop also carries NCR (carbon type paper) in 8.5 X 11. This paper comes in 2 part or 3 part only.

Three hole punching - the Print Shop can three hole punch virtually any sized job (preferably 8.5 X 11). A minimum charge of $1.00 is added for three hole punching; however, for large jobs a charge of $5.00 per case of paper is assessed and additional charges for divider sheets may be added. Padding - the Print Shop does 2 types of padding: normal glue or NCR glue. Normal glue is red and NCR glue is just for carbonless paper. A minimum charge of $1.00 is added for padding.

The Print Shop tries to finish your jobs in a quick and efficient manner; however, you must remember that we handle all the printing for the University. Please keep in mind the size of your job when suggesting a due date. Ink must be allowed to dry before being cut, padded, folded etc. Also be aware that not all fonts are interchangeable. If you do not use a common font it will appear different on the finished product. We would be glad to campus mail you a proof if you so desire. This service is for everybody’s convenience, so please do not tie it up with extremely large files. If you are using a Macintosh system please call ahead so we can download to the appropriate hard-drive.
