Printing Policy

Both large format and 8.5x11 color printing are for curricular purposes only (e.g. class projects, conferences). The limit is two copies of any document. Print services is available to help with club fliers and personal projects.

What can I print on the large format printer?

You may print a single copy of anything for curricular use. Wall decor, personal posters, posters for social events etc. should all be taken to Print Services.

How do I print a large format poster?

You must first save your file as a pdf. Then refer to the instruction sheets on the front desk, or follow this link for online instructions.

Can I pay to print out a poster, or can you charge my department for printer use? How much?

There is no charge for printing in the Creative Media Commons, but all prints must be for a curricular purpose. Multiple copies are not allowed in the Creative Media Commons. Print Services can help with non-curricular flyers and posters (event advertisements, decor, personal projects). There is a charge.

Do you have a paper cutter?

Yes, it’s usually stored on the table in the main room. The big Epson printer has its own cutter for the sheets it prints.
