Printing and Photocopying from University Machines
There are combined printing and photocopying machines at all University of Cumbria campuses. The devices provide high quality, high volume, rapid printing, photocopying, and scanning facilities. These provide a reduction in wasted printing as incorrect versions can be deleted before printing at no cost to users.
Each printer is set to duplex, black and white A4 print as standard but this can be amended to print in colour and on specific machines A3.
Print prices are as follows (per page – duplex is charged as 2 pages):
| | Black and white | Colour |
|---|
| A4 |
5p |
20p |
|---|
| A3 |
10p |
40p |
|---|
You can also print documents from A4 up to A1 (poster size) and access a range of other services at our Print Unit.
Testimonials
"I have worked closely with the Print Unit always found their work to be of an impeccably high professional standard. They work hard to deliver items on schedule if not earlier, and are always a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them for any work of this nature wholeheartedly." - Lexie Ward, Theatre Manager Stanwix Theatre
"I use Print Services for work-related printing, but also as a private customer for the production of a regular newsletter. The service is really cost-effective for our small association, and the quality and turn-around are excellent." - Marion Yates, Head of International Development University of Cumbria
"I have used the print unit for several years now to print poster, fliers and show guides for our events. I have found the staff to be extremely helpful and the work has always been produced on time and to a very high standard." - Rachel Gibson, Quay Creative
