There are several types of book-binding the MCAD Service Bureau can help you with. Note that ALL binding and trimming services have a 24-hour turnaround time. If you need your books in under 24 hours you can pay a $10 RUSH fee per book.
YES! The Service Bureau has a Datacolor Spyder5Pro calibrator you can check out! Stop by the SB and check out the Spyder, then follow these instructions.
Inexpensive color printing can be done through the Service Bureau or Library using one of the color laser printers.
For printing on nicer paper, custom paper, and press quality prints, use the full-service Konica Color printer in the Service Bureau:
The Océ Plotwave large format Black and White laser printer has a maximum output width of 36" and maximum length of 12'. Files are printed on plain white, green, blue, yellow, or pink Bond paper or frosted vellum Film.
Begin by opening the file you want to print.
Choose File > Print and the Print dialog box will open.
If you just need simple letter-sized (8.5x11") prints, you can choose from several public BW printers around campus:
The Service Bureau Konica laser printer is perfect for printing on Transparency, Film or Vellum media. Transparency and Xante film can be purchased in the Service Bureau.
(If you received your computer from MCAD or recently had it re-imaged by the Help Desk, all MCAD public printers should already be set up.)
Student accounts are credited $10 every year on August 1st, which equals 250 Letter-sized BW prints (single-sided) or about 22 Letter-sized Konica Color prints. Your mileage will vary depending on how you choose to use your allotment.
So you've got an InDesign document that you'd like to print out and bind like a magazine or booklet. You can print booklets to any of our on campus color or BW laser printers easily!
You can send documents to the SB-Canon-Copier for high volume printing/copying and for advanced finishing options like folding, stapling and collating!
Printing from your phone, tablet, or other mobile device is super simple with PaperCut's built-in Mobility Print service.
First, make sure your mobile device is using the MCAD secure wireless network. (Mobility Print will not work via cell carrier signal.)
If you followed all posted (or verbal) instructions and your prints still didn't come out right, there was a mechanical problem with the printer, or the toner was low, you can log into your print account and request a refund.
Occasionally when you print something from the internet (like driving directions or an image) to the SB-BW printers, the printer will display an error. This is a Postscript error, meaning the printer doesn't understand the information it has been sent.

Watch our video demo and/or read through the suggestions below! (If you can't see the YouTube player click HERE.) Turnaround for book binding can take up to 24 hours so plan ahead!
