The IRC and Presentations Lab do not operate for profit. Any charges incurred for services are priced at our cost. However, we do charge for production of electronic output (scanning, pdf creation, optical media duplication, etc), mostly as an encentive for you to learn and use the equipment provided yourself.

We do everything we can to keep your costs to a minimum. Try us first, you'll find that we are a great deal cheaper for a number of our services than other options on campus. Please see our price list for material rates

We are prohibited by state law from providing service or materials outside of the University community.

Color Laser Printing and Copying

The Presentations Lab employs a Xerox 7700GX Color Laser Printer for its printing and copying needs. The 7700 produces stunning color reproductions. It can print on any size paper, up to 12x18 inches, and can handle a variety of weights and materials. We are capable of copying documents up to 11x17 inches in size, and will gladly enlarge, reduce, or crop your documents. We offer same day service printing and copying for reasonably sized jobs.

Transparancies

We can produce transparancies from your original paper copy or computer file. We offer same day service printing and copying for reasonably sized jobs.

Large Format Printing

The Instructional Resources Center owns a Hewlett-Packard Design Jet 2000 CP large format color printer, capable of printing posters and banners on glossy poster paper at 300 dots per inch. Files from Illustrator, Freehand, or InDesign work best on this printer, but we can make any image file, Photoshop Document, PowerPoint file, or PDF work as well. Printable dimensions are 34.6 inches by up to 100 feet. We may need up to 2 weeks to print your file, but usually can operate on a 3 or 4 day turnaround.

Ink Jet Printing

We have 2 inkjet printers, one is designated for "odd materials"-- pretty much any media that can't be fed through the laser printer can go through our inkjets. The other is a 6 ink photo quality printer. We offer same day service printing and copying for reasonably sized jobs.

We can afix your document to foam board, tag board or other provided matierial. We employ both dry and spray mount processes. We usually operate on a 3 or 4 day turnaround.

CD / DVD Authoring

We provide equipment and software capable of converting your VHS, DVD, or mini-DV tape source to digital format and returning your completed project to VHS, DVD, mini-DV tape, or electronic file. Plan for the length of the video for import, twice the length for editing, and the length again for export to VHS or mini-DV tape. Plan for 3 times the length of the project for export to DVD. (an hour long video will take you an hour to import, 2 hours to edit, and an hour to export to tape-- 4 hours from start to finish. Export to DVD will take approximately 7 hours from start to finish)

We can mass duplicate your CD / DVD master at the rate of 20 per hour. We can also print label art directly to the disk. Completion time varies with complexity, but we can usually produce 20 CDs or 10 DVDs per hour.
