To Begin a Job
For faculty and staff use only.
The most critical aspects toward ensuring the success of your project are clear communication about your exact needs and allowing ample lead time. Of course, there will be “emergency” jobs, and we make every effort to accommodate those projects.
We can provide a cost estimate so you can budget for the expense.
Project Submittal
We are happy to help get your project started. Please submit your project below and provide us with every detail of your project. Your complete and accurate job ticket ensures we can process your project correctly. We can receive projects in the following ways: hard copy, PDFs, JPG and TIF files.
Turn Around Time
Please allow three days for basic printing needs (including posters, business cards and notepads). For booklets and manuals, please allow a minimum of five days. Note: these turnaround times reflect printing only and not design. If your project requires design from the Communications team, please submit your request to commprojects@whitman.edu.
Inventoried Items
The inventory includes a wide variety of paper products and specialty items. To purchase any of these items, send an email to pubprint@whitman.edu. Your order will be filled and sent to you via campus mail or you may pick it up at the Boyer House.
It’s important to know that...
Equipment failure/breakdown can prevent us from completing your work accurately and on time. Another reason why as much lead time as possible is a best practice toward success. Frequent and late changes can also delay the production schedule and lead to final product errors. Jobs requiring reprinting or reassembly because of changes or client errors will be the financial responsibility of the requesting department. Some printing options are limited to certain software formats; check in advance to avoid the need to recreate your document.
