How do I submit work to the Print Shop?

For best copies, jobs should be submitted electronically in PDF format. Paper jobs require original masters for good copy, and must be accompanied by a completed NCR print requisition form. Each job must be accompanied by a separate form. For best quality color copy jobs, send electronically in PDF format or on a new CD.

• An 11" x 17" color cover for a booklet or program must be set up as an 11" x 17" document with the front cover on the right side of the page and the back cover on the left side. The rest of the booklet must to be in a separate file on 8 ½" x 11" in black and white; the copy machine will convert it to 11" x 17".
• Cost is $0.38 per 8.5" x 11" sheet, and $0.50 per 11" x 17" sheet.

Time Requirements

• Classroom size jobs:
  Standard "classroom" size jobs are typically processed within 48 hours of being received at the Print Shop. During times of high demand the lead time may be greater. Larger volume or custom jobs must be scheduled in advance by calling the Print Shop at ext. 6178.
• Large quantity jobs, special projects, newsletters, programs:
  Large volume or custom jobs require longer lead time to process. These jobs might include packets, booklets, custom materials, handbooks, play programs, or football programs. With the increase volume of printing you will need to contact the Print Shop three weeks before your deadline to schedule your print job. To minimize lead time for all users, large or custom jobs submitted without scheduling will be placed in the queue and printed in the order received.

  Sports programs must be received by 2 p.m., four business days prior to the scheduled game.

Things to think about...

• Use your in-house copier machines for small jobs
• Using an ink color other than black costs an extra $18.00 per job and may require additional time to complete
• Colored paper costs over twice as much as white paper. (White paper is $2 a ream while color paper costs $4.45 a ream.) It would cost $90 to print 75 copies of a 75-page booklet on white paper. To print the same job on color paper would cost $140.
• Please save the gold copy of the print requisition form and have it ready with your "date needed" when calling to check on an order.
