Pikeville College - Public Affairs

 
 

Print Services

The Copy Center is responsible for providing all internal duplication and finishing needs for the College community.

Printing jobs

We typically print jobs that are black ink only and involving less than 1,000 copies. If you’re on a tight budget, with a fast deadline, this may be the best way to go. These types of projects can either be designed internally by Publications staff or brought in “camera-ready,” which means the material is ready to copy, with no proofing or additional design work required by Public Affairs. In the latter case, the person submitting the document is responsible for proofreading.

Color copying

We have the equipment necessary to provide color copying. However, the cost is more expensive than black and white copies and your budget will be charged accordingly.

Equipment

Most quick printing is accomplished on our Xerox Document Center. This equipment provides the following features:

  • Accepts originals from 5.5”x8.5” to 11”x17”.
  • Can output plain paper, transparencies, labels, letterhead, pre-printed forms and hole-punched paper from 5.5”x8.5” to 11”x17” in size and from 16 to 110 pounds in weight.
  • Booklet-building features to create saddle-stitched booklets.
  • Two-sided printing.

This equipment enables Copy Center staff to provide you with a quick turnaround time except at peak times such as the beginning of a semester. Please plan ahead and submit your jobs at least two weeks prior to the date you’ll need them. Additional services including special binding, cutting, folding and special paper orders will require additional turnaround time.

Paper availability

We store several types of paper for your printing needs. When you submit your order, you may choose the stock needed from samples of the various colors and weights of papers we currently have in stock. If a special paper is needed, please inquire. We may have something special on reserve or may know where to order it. If we need to order paper for your job, please plan ahead. Ordering a special paper can take from three to 10 days and may also cost more than papers in stock.

Putting it all together

Our bindery area is equipped to handle all standard bindery functions including folding, cutting, collating, stitching and hole punching. Special services such as die-cutting, laminating, perfect binding, foiling or embossing are procured through outside sources and will require additional time and cost.

Copyright issues

The Office of Public Affairs provides publications and printing for the Pikeville College community, and encourages its faculty and staff to engage in a wide variety of activities related to education. However, the staff members respect the legal right to intellectual and creative property in all media. Such educational activities must therefore be performed within the bounds of copyright law. The College will adhere to the provisions of the U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17, United States Code, Section 101, et. seq.) and requests that faculty and staff adhere to these provisions as well. The College cannot support unauthorized duplication in any form. Anyone who willfully disregards the copyright policy and law is in violation of College policy, does so at his/her own risk, and assumes all liability.

Submitting a copy job

  • Complete a “Print Services Order Form” to include: date needed, quantity and all copy specifications.
  • Make sure the original has been proofed for typographical errors and the proper signatures are on the form.
  • Drop off the original and completed order form in the Copy Center located on the first floor of the Administration building.
