What is a PDF?
PDF is a file type that stands for Portable Document Format. In order to create a PDF, you can scan to email from some copiers or use software such as Abode Acrobat (full version) to "print" a PDF from any application you may be working with. A properly prepared document for printing has embedded fonts and hi-resolution graphics (300 dpi).
What types of printing does the Print Shop do?
We print using digital presses (toner based) and offset presses (traditional ink). The digital color press prints full color documents under 2,000 sets, while the digital black and white press can print collated sets of documents from 2,000 impressions and up. Our offset presses can print large 1 color, 2 color, and 4 color runs of 10,000 impressions (equivalent to 2,500 copies of an 8-page newsletter) or more. We can also print posters 36" wide by any length.
What paper is available?
We have many different paper stocks, most of which are listed on the order form. We also have most of the basic colors to choose from. Please contact the Print Shop for more information.
In addition to these standard papers, we also stock carbonless (NCR 2, 3, 4, and 5-part) paper, #10 white envelopes, 20 lb. watermarked letterhead paper, and various colors of text and cover weight paper (e.g. blue, yellow, green, red, pink, lilac). Because we bid the paper for the best price, there may be slight differences in paper color and brightness. If you need a specific paper, we can order that for your job.
What types of finishing are available?
We can make booklets (finished sizes of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", 8 1/2" x 11"), portrait and landscape stapled books/packets, double-stapled books, tri-fold or Z-fold brochures, 1/2-fold brochures, comb bound books, and perfect bound books.
Do you offer design services?
Yes, we have talented designers on staff to assist you in the layout and design of your project.
