Publication & Print Services
| We can handle files from both PC and Mac computers. Send us your files via [[sstein, e-mail]], ftp, flash drive, or CD. Let us know your deadline, and we guarantee you’ll have your job in time. When your job is finished, we’ll contact you to pick up your finished materials, or let us deliver! |

Graphic Design and Layout We can help design your project from scratch, or start a layout from your files and photos. We design multi-page documents and reports, newsletters, brochures, invitations, report covers, posters, and more. We work with a variety of software, and will use the program that best suits the job. Costs are $30/hour for initial design and layout, $25/hour for edits. |

Illustrations We can hand draw or computer-generate illustrations for reports, theses, or manuscripts. We can also scan older graphics to use for new illustrations. Bring us those hand-drawn maps or field sketches you’d like to publish—you’d be surprised what we can do! We also have a large inventory of maps—both hard-copy and digital—for use in reports, posters, and presentations. Cost: $30/hour. |

Large-Format Posters We can produce posters for conferences, display panels, and laboratory signage. We can print from Windows-based programs and from Macs. We can print posters up to 40" in one dimension and of unlimited length in the other. Please give us at least 4 hours to get you the final product (although a 1-day lead time is preferred). Cost is $5/running foot. Also consider having us print 11” x 17” reduced color copies of your poster for use as hand-outs to colleagues during your conference poster session. [top] |

Binding We can also bind printed materials—anything from a 10- to a 500-page manuscript. We offer a variety of binding options (e.g., strip, spiral, saddle-stitched). We'll put a clear cover on it, and away you go. Priced by the job (average cost is $1/book, plus a nominal cost for labor). [top] |

Large-Format Lamination Our large-format laminator allows us to laminate any printed item up to 40" wide (unlimited length). The laminate is thin—only 3 mil—so you can laminate a poster and still easily roll it up in a carrying tube. Cost is $5/running foot. We can also laminate smaller, letter, legal, and tabloid size documents. [top] |
