Museum-Quality Printing
This page is dedicated to prints created by the Media Center staff on our large-format printers, not to be confused with prints created by students, faculty, or staff outside of the Media Center on black and white, color, or plotter printers. Prints done outside of the Media Center are supported by the IT department, NOT the Media Center.
Expect that a print request that has been done properly can take up to 3-business days to be processed and completed. Student work always takes priority, particularly assignments and final projects.
If you have already made a print with the Media Center and you understand the process, you can scroll to the bottom of this page to upload your file.
