For best results, coordinate any “Special Handling” printing through the college’s Graphics department.

The Graphics department is accustomed to working with the college’s branding, print requirements, and equipment characteristics to provide best results. Allow sufficient time for graphics development, approvals of print proofs, and any special requirements – a minimum of five to ten full business days, depending on the specific project, which may include:

• Large format posters
• Banners
• Business cards
• Envelopes (orders limited to 500 envelopes)
• NCR
• Spiral, comb or ring bound items

Avoid submitting items that require special handling any later than three weeks before each semester and at least one week after the semester starts.

• To ensure that you receive your print requests before the start of each semester, make sure to submit all syllabi and classwork at least two full weeks before the desired pickup date.
• Use the “Date Need By” calendar to prioritize your print jobs; only 10 maximum print jobs scheduled per date unless more than two weeks lead time provided.
• Given the sheer volume of print requests at the start of each term, please limit your submissions to what will be needed in the first two to three weeks of class, not an entire semester’s schedule of materials. If, for convenience, you want to submit the entire term’s print requests, please submit each print job as an individual request, not multiple jobs combined, and at a minimum one month prior to the start of the term.
• Avoid submitting items that require special handling any later than three weeks before each semester and at least one week after the semester starts. No business cards, stationery, envelopes, or similar “stock” items will be printed during this period.
