Copying is toner based and done on a B/W or color copier. Printing is a process that requires metal or digital film-based plates for each color, along with a solvent-based ink.
Upon final sign-off of any work that requires typesetting, University Communications and Marketing approval, or customer requested proof, factor in:
The cost is .045 per copy on departmental copiers and .0285 per copy in Printing Services. This cost does not include paper or any other services that might be associated with your request.

Printing Services has a basic price list, but a large percentage of requests for printing are unique in that it may involve several different processes and therefore require a quote to determine the most efficient way to produce the work. Basic black and white copying can be determined by the price given in a previously asked question on this page. On every price quote the type of paper used also will affect pricing.
To ensure quality and consistency, the publications staff has been directed by the president to prepare or examine all materials that incorporate the Winthrop logo and/or target external publics. The staff is responsible for seeing that such items meet high-quality writing, editing and design standards, and comply with graphics requirements.
University Communications & Marketing and Printing Services work together to complete your project as quickly as possible; however, please allow additional time for University Relations to review your file or document before submitting to Printing Services.
