*Cash and check currently not accepted due to Covid-19. $10 minimum no longer required during this time as well.
We offer a variety of goods and services, including:
Also known as pigment or giclée printing, our inkjet printers print with archival pigment-based inks on acid-free paper, producing museum-grade prints that will not fade or yellow on their own and last a lifetime. Photographs, fine art reproductions, and illustrative pieces come out wonderfully on these prints. We can print large images on our 44″ Canon printer.
Each print has a 1″ margin all around that cannot be printed on (2″ from either dimension).
Our pre-cut sheets need a 1 inch white margin all around, so the largest image size we can accept is 2 inches shorter than the sheet on both dimensions. This white margin does not need to be included in the file.
Our rolls has a fixed width, while the length has no limitation. Image can be rotated to best fit the roll. Price is charged by the length. Minimum roll length is 8″. The 1 inch white margin all around that we require is not charged.
Our color-matched laser prints offer vibrant color at high speed and low cost, making them an excellent choice for posters, cards, proofs, books, and magazines. We generate laser prints up to 12″x18″ on plain (normal printer), coated (glossy) and uncoated (copy/matte) paper stocks.
For double-sided printing each side will be charged as a separate print.
Each paper size has a 1/4″ margin all around that cannot be printed on (1/2″ from either dimension).
Since the paper itself has a shine to it, the whole print will be glossy. The paper also has a smoother texture than the copy finish.
The “matte” option for our laser papers. The paper itself isn’t shiny, but any part of the image that was printed will be due to the toner.
You can bring your own paper for a 20% discount. We will need both the weight (lb) and grammage (gsm or g/m2) of the paper when you order. The maximum weight we can print on is 110 lbs and the maximum grammage is 300 lb. The largest we can print is 12″x18″. If it is a transparency, the paper needs to be treated for a Copier to ensure it won’t melt in our machines. If it is sticker paper, the paper cannot be pre-cut into smaller sections, such as labels.
Artwork can be professionally scanned at our facility to generate digital images for the web, digital archiving, and printing. Our 12″ x 17″ flatbed scanner is ideal for making high-resolution reproductions or enlargements of artwork of nearly any size. Larger prints may take multiple scans, but the final image will look seamless.
We charge by the number of scans it takes to capture the image if the image needs to be scanned in sections. Final price is determined after the service is done, but we are happy to give you our best guess beforehand.
Our scanning services always come with minor edits such as minor color corrections and removing large dust particles. Further edits will be charged by the hour upon request.
Obtain consistent color from your computer screen all the way to your final print. We will calibrate and profile the monitor on your laptop or desktop computer to the same specifications used on our monitors. Our printers are set to match the colors on our monitors as best as possible.
A storage solution to help you keep some weight off your back. Our lockers are 12″ wide, 35″ tall, and 13″ deep. While they can’t store large art portfolios, they are perfect for keeping art supplies.
We offer many commonly used supplies in the photo and design majors of Mason. These are meant for purchases in a quick pinch, not for bulk purchases. We also offer supplies to help you transport your prints safely to their destination.
Many design and new media students are required to mount their printed projects onto a presentation board. This service includes making the presentation board and/or mounting the project onto the board. Each board will be stamped indicating the service provided. It is the student’s responsibility to find out if their professor will accept a project made with these services. This service may take up to two days.
