Color Copying
We have recently installed a Ricoh Pro Color copier in addition to our HP 5500 ColorLaserjet printer. While not Self-Serve our staff is ready to help you with your quick, short-run color copying needs. Small, quick jobs can often be done while you wait. We charge 25 cents per color page and includes a bright white paper. Many other types of paper are available.
For quantities of several hundred or more we reccomend our Offset Press process as costs are less the more you print with this method.
Offset Printing
We have three offset printing machines each capable of printing two colors at one time. This means they can print a full range of color in two passes. These machines are hi-volume and high quality prints that are very cost effective. The more you print the less the unit cost is per sheet. The cost difference compared to color-copying several hundred copies or more is very high. Jobs on this machine must be planned ahead as the press schedule may require a lead time of one to two week during especially busy time like the beginning of the school year.
Types of Print jobs that are best for the Offset process:
- Jobs needing a higher quality image like department brochures
- jobs needing several hundred prints or more
- 2-6 part carbonless forms
- Jobs on specialty paper that copiers can't handle
- Envelopes and stationary
