Where to go for Printing and Imaging



There are many places on campus that can be helpful when getting stuff printed.

Copy This is a useful place.  Well maybe they aren’t the most knowledgeable but they should be able to help you with printing stuff.  They are also the people to go to if you need banner printing, anything bound, or unusual sizes.

Flatbed Scanners can be found at the Morris Center 5th floor, The Cheek computer lab, and the library.  Copy This might also have a flatbed scanner, I don’t remember.  The Morris Center has a larger flatbed scanner in addition to the regular sizes.  Copy This has a drum scanner in the back you have to ask for if you have large stuff or long stuff that can be fed into the machine (so no holding down your notebook on top of the scanner).

There is a color printer you can use your printing balance towards at Cheek.  Keep in mind it costs more off your balance than a black and white copy does.  Any campus printer should be able to print 11x17, most printers have a special tray you can load and select from when printing, for sure Morris Center and Cheek have it because I’ve used those.

btw, computer lab printing costs off your semester's balance are (as of 10-01-2012) $0.75 for color sheets and $0.08 for single or duplexed black & white.  The info source assumes 8.5x11 letter format, if costs are different for larger sizes then please update this post.

Where to Post Flyers



If you put posters and flyers up, bring the stapler, pushpins, and some tape.  It’s easier to do with two people, one to hold stuff and one to do the stapling.  Here are places for you to put up flyers.

a.  Plaster Student Union
There are 3 spots for publicity in the Student Union. 
  1. The upstairs corkboard under the stairs across from the piano.  The table next to it is perfect for handbills or other information) 
  2. The downstairs board underneath the stairs. 
  3. The downstairs board on your way to the Level 1 bowling alley.  All posters that go up in the student union need to be approved, stamped and signed at the front desk.
b.  Bus Stops
They are pretty much free game.  There are 3 good ones to use with corkboards.  One in front of the PSU, two opposite each other between Meyer library and Glass Hall.  The other bus stops don't have accessible corkboards.

c.  Residence Halls
Residence Life distributes publicity internally so there are procedures to follow, and then you hand your fliers off and they do the legwork.  The instruction sheet from Hammons 101, conveniently uploaded to the internet as a .pdf HERE (current as of 09-30-2012) has the specifics.  Basically, the sheet says how many floors for each building, so you print the appropriate number, bundle and label them by building (a post-it note at the top of each set with the hall name will suffice), and hand them off to the Hammons 101 office.  It takes a week or so for flyers to go up.  All in all there are 117 floors, or if you were cheap (color printing, eh?) there are 9 main lobbies and 108 regular floors.

d.  Academic Buildings
These buildings will have two types of corkboards, one for deparmental stuff (Don’t post on these!  They are usually labeled) and one for other stuff that’s free game.

The following locations are high in artsy types.
  •  2 for Morris Building (downtown.)  1 for atrium, 1 for 5th floor corkboard, probably next to the elevator
  • 2 for Craig Hall.  1 for first floor near elevator, 1 for corkboard on second floor.
  • 2 for Art Annex.  1 at west entrance, 1 for a corkboard at south entrance.
  • 3 for Ellis Hall.  1 for main floorsouth corkboard, 1 for stairwell, 1 for corkboard near Art&Design office on the next floor up.
  • 3 for Brick City.  1 in the atrium, 1 above the first floor water fountains (unless there are 2 spots?) , 1 above the 2nd floor water fountains
  • 1 for Park Central Building.  I was told to put it up in the elevator, there used to be a corkboard there, it may have changed.
And please advertise at these places if convenient.
  • 2 for Strong Hall.  1 for North corkboard first floor, 1 for south corkboard first floor.
  • 2 for Glass Hall.  1 for each corkboard first floor.
  • 1 for Temple, first foor.
  • 2 for Meyer Library.  1 for boards near circulation desk, 1 for upstairs board.  Bonus info about flyers in the library, the librarians take them down every year/semester(?) and archive them.  Your flyers will be historic!
  • 1 for Wehr Band Hall.  There's a board upstairs but I'm not sure about downstairs.
  • 2 for Siceluff.  bottom floor has lots of spaces down the hall, not sure about the upper floors.
  • 2 for Pummill Hall, 1st floor, 1 for top floor next to photo lab.
  • 1 for Cheek Hall, 1st floor main lobby.
    1 for Professional Building, tape it to the glass at the northeast entrance.
  • 1 for Karls Hall.  there's at least the boards near the southeast entrance.
  • Kemper Hall?
  • McDonnel Second Floor?
  • Does anybody know a thing about the Jordan Valley Innovation Center?
e.  Campus Link
…  I’m pretty sure it wants PDF’s, but I haven’t used it myself.  As always, update these instructions when you learn more.
