Beginning in September, a new self-service printing center will offer wireless and mobile print solutions at our current location: Suite 3301 at 333 East Campus Mall.
From its inception, StudentPrint has evolved to meet the changing needs of the campus community. The newest evolution comes this summer with the transition to a self-service printing and resource center. We will share additional details about this change and available services – such as black/white, color and large-format printing – in the weeks ahead.
Many of the services previously offered at StudentPrint can be found elsewhere on campus and in the larger community. Some examples include:
Color and black and white laser printing at campus general access computer labs, called InfoLabs
College of Letters & Science Copy Center: https://copy.ls.wisc.edu/
Printing and photocopies at 17 library locations: https://www.library.wisc.edu/locations/printing/
Poster printing at College Library, MERIT Library (including laminating) and Steenbock Library
Variety of printing services from small to large format, DVD/CD duplication, course packet printing and more at Digital Publishing and Printing Services, the largest in-house printing operation within the State of Wisconsin government: https://it.wisc.edu/services/digital-publishing-and-printing/
File Upload
All files in a group will be printed with the same settings. Most services allow multiple groups of files to be uploaded.
Files are limited to 100MB in size, and up to 10 files may be uploaded per group.
If you require more space, you may use an external cloud storage service such as Box or OneDrive and submit a link for us to download the files.
PDFs set to the print size and 300 dpi are preferred for printing. Image files and other documents may also be accepted, but this varies by service. Read more here for more information.
Bleed is an important part of printing. Check out this video for more information.
Complimentary Proof
For large and specialty orders, we offer a complimentary proof, either physical or digital, to ensure your product meets expectations. Should you require adjustments to the finishing, we're here to assist at no extra charge. However, if substantial changes are needed beyond the original submission after the first proof, a $5 proofing fee will apply. Proofs can be approved in-person, via email, or phone. While proofing is optional, waiving this service means assuming full responsibility for the product based on the initial specifications.
Payment
If you are paying privately, payment can be done on pickup or online. Acceptable payment methods are Mastercard, Visa, Wiscard, cash or check. We require payment up front on orders $20 or more.
Service Guarantee
Completion time varies by service. Our turn around time is a 3 business days upon proof approval minimum. Orders with large quantities may require additional time. Please make sure to plan ahead, as we do not rush orders. If you are not fully satisfied with your order, you may request a reprint. Please take note of our Reprint Policy.
If you have an order involving materials that aren’t listed here, email stuprint@rso.wisc.edu with more info about your order.
