Need it fast – Digital reprodution
Digital printing describes all the black-ink and color copies normally made from digital
files and camera-ready, customer-provided originals at University Printing high-speed
digital printing center, at the K-State Student Union. Our high speed color and black
and white digital copiers are capable of scanning and printing documents faster than
normal office photocopiers. University Printing uses state-of-the-art technology to
produce supurb quality copies at very competitive prices and quick turn-around times.
Digital printing is ideal for short run brochures, flyers, books, covers, manuals,
newsletters and ANY printed material where quality and speed are of the essence. All
of our copiers are capable of printing from your digital files, thus removing a generation
and the resulting image degradation. Several options are available through automated
features of the copy equipment; reduction/enlargement, collating, stapling of up to
50 sheets (corner staple, landscape staple, double landscape staple), and two-sided
copying. In addition to this, the digital printing center can also
provide you with the following sevices:
Finishing Operations
Besides high-volume duplicating, our digital printing center offers finishing operations.
Spiral, wire, comb and Unibinding are available. Laminating, collating, cutting, folding,
hole punching, padding (regular and carbonless), saddle stitching (magazine style
booklet), and stapling are
available too.
Hole Punching
We can “drill” a document, e.g., for later insertion into a binder. We can punch up to five holes in one pass; 1/4” is a standard size, though we also have other sizes.
Folding
We have machines capable of producing letter folds, half folds, and “Z” (or accordion) folds. If your piece is going to mail keep these tips in mind when developing your piece.
Cutting
The number of sides cut (and hence the price) depends on the size of the finished document and the thickness of the paper. Cutting can be provided for cards, forms, pads, tickets, etc., just ask for an estimate.
Tab Dividers
We stock white tab dividers. We have 3, 4, 5,and 6 cut in stock but are able to order others if needed. You can have them three hole drilled or undrilled. Just provide the information that you want to have put on the tab and we will set them for you.
Scanning
We can convert you paper documents to a digital graphic or text file. This is very
convenient if your
office is not equipped with a scanner or the proper software.
Variable Data Printing
We now offer variable data printing (VDP). VDP (or personalized printing) produces a document that is customized for each recipient. You can use variable data printing with many different types of printed pieces, such as direct mail or mail-merge letters, newsletters, promotions, invitations, and flyers. Please call us to see how you can benefit from this great service.
