The
production office of Printing Services is our customer service area.
We initiate jobs; schedule them through various phases including composition,
duplicating, printing, and bindery; and/or purchase products when necessary
from vendors.
Job processing includes
paper and ink choices, bindery options, and scheduling. The production
area is responsible for providing you with technical information and
price estimates for your projects to enable you to make decisions that
best accommodate your budget. We are also responsible for maintaining
printing job records; art files; and an inventory of fine printing papers
including covers, indexes, carbonless, offsets, and bonds.
All university publications
intended for an external audience must be submitted to the Office of
Communications and Marketing. Contact Denise Thomas-Hoskins, Associate
Director of Publications, at ext. 3232 to discuss your publication.
Specialty
Items and Promotions
We can prepare artwork for your promotional materials such as t-shirts,
ball caps, mugs, writing pens and pencils, etc. We obtain these items
for you at the best commercial prices possible.
Paper
Stock/Envelopes
For your convenience, we maintain an inventory of printing papers including
covers, indexes, carbonless, offsets, and bonds.
The majority of
the paper made for offset presses comes from paper manufacturers in
large sheets that are 25 x 38 or 23 x 35. The paper must then be cut
to accommodate the press size for particular printing jobs.
Many of the bonds
and some of the offsets are 8-1/2 x 11 sheets. These are the most commonly
used papers for duplicating. Printing Services purchases over one million
sheets of 8-1/2 x 11 colored and white bonds each month for use in our
duplicating center and convenience copiers.
If you specify a
paper that requires ordering or that we purchase in larger sizes, you
need to allow additional time for us to produce your job.
Our envelope inventory
is extensive. We retain large quantities of #10 (commercial) regular,
#10 windows, #9 business reply, and catalog envelopes in various sizes
for university business. We also supply invitations and announcement
stock.
