We accept the following forms of payment: departmental account, credit card, cash and personal check.

In digital printing there are no real start-up costs and each printed piece costs about the same, no matter how many are printed. In offset printing, there are start-up costs for film and plate preparation and preparing the press with ink, but the printed piece gets less expensive the more you produce. As a rule of thumb at about 1,000 copies, the cost of offset printing starts going down while the cost of digital printing stays the same.

Our preferred file format is Adobe PDF. If you are not able to convert a file to a PDF, download our SurePDF to submit your file. This software will convert any format into a PDF and include all your fonts. The download can be found at the bottom of our storefront homepage. We support all Adobe software, but it will need to be converted to a PDF to submit for printing on our storefront. We do not support Canva.

At your request, we will provide a cost estimate to assist you in determining a project budget. Average turnaround time for an estimate is 24 hours. However, estimates may take up to three days to prepare if we need to contact an outside vendor for special paper or supplies. The accuracy of an estimate is dependent on the information we receive from you. As is customary in the printing industry, actual cost may vary within 10 percent. Estimates are valid for only 30 days due to fluctuating paper prices.
