University Printing

Estimates help contain cost, plan printing order

The estimate form helps clients plan printing specifications and provides budgeting information. Printing costs depend on quantity needed, materials, and labor and equipment required for the finished product.

Estimates usually are provided within two work days, but call for a personal response. A customer service representative is available during work hours to discuss job specifications, make suggestions to improve the product design, determine a delivery date, and suggest ways to reduce costs.
