It is important to understand that color copying by it's nature has a number of drawbacks.

• It is very expensive for long runs
• The color reproduction isn't as good as offset printing
• The machine has a narrow list of paper types that it will run. Heavy papers are very difficult to run and cost more.

The ticket link at the left is for ordering supplies. For some copiers and printers, the Publication Center stocks consumable items. We also supply all printing/copying paper on campus. Simply fill out the form when you pick up your items at Budd 102.

Please remember that more and more of our campus machines are being placed on service contracts that include supplies. If this is the case, there will be a sticker on the front of the machine in question indicating that you should call the vender for supplies issues.
