Printing Policy

足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 Postal & Print provides academic printing for faculty and staff and draft level print quality for students, showing examples in class. For higher quality printing and papers, please go to the Print Lab at the 足球游戏_中国足彩网￥体育资讯 Art Tech Center.

Students, staff and faculty may only email electronic originals for printing saved in the following format:

• Pdf
• by email (not usb)
• with ID number (students) for flex charge as payment in the email (or credit card info if you're comfortable with that)
• 2-24 hours in advance (ideally not on the way to class or overnight for 8:30 pick-up)
• If you plan to pay when you arrive, please let us know. Please send the pdf ahead and we will print when you arrive.

We can no longer accept docx, tiff, png, psd, ai, fw, id or Pages formats. Please convert your Pages files to PDF.

Although we can print from various digital formats, .pdf format works the best with our computers and printers. We may not have access to all of the fonts on your computer, so making a PDF is the best way to ensure your document or image integrity. Bring in your originals on USB drive, or email them to postalandprint@mica.edu.

Combine pdfs to make things go faster

Students printing multiple PDFs can combine the different jpegs, pdfs or pngs into one PDF to save time. For example, if you have created several art works in InDesign, save them all as separate PDFs. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro, Combine PDFs into one PDF with multiple pages. If 7 should be printed 8 1/2" X 11", save them as one PDF. Save the other 7 that need to be 11" X 17" as one PDF. That way we just have to open two PDFs and send them to the printer instead of 14 different PDFs. Your fellow classmates behind you in line will thank you!

Other guidelines

• We cannot accommodate editing. If your image has a dark background, please bring a second pdf save 15% lighter.
• If you are printing a zine, you must provide a paper proof with your electronic request to make sure all of the pages line up.

Faculty and Staff photocopies
