The University Printing Advantage
University Printing Services provides several important advantages to our customers. These include:
We Are Part of the MSU Community
As part of the MSU community we understand the unique problems of university departments and organizations and we are familiar with the seasonal pace of academic schedules and deadlines. We are always seeking to strengthen our existing relationships and develop new ones through open communication, shared ideas and common goals. Our highly experienced staff has a combined total of over 135 years of print shop experience. We take pride in our work and appreciate our customers.
Free Pick-up and Delivery
University Printing Services offers not only free pick-up and delivery but also a quick turnaround on your copy jobs. Your job can be picked up at your department, copied and delivered within hours. Just think, no more staff members chained to the office copier when they could be doing more important things. And no more tying up the office copier with a large jobs that frustrate other users who need quick short jobs. Another bonus is reduced wear and consumables on your office machine. Please call 994-5708 to place your order and arrange for pick-up.
Easy Ordering: Phone, Fax, Mail, Web Based Ordering at EZ Print
Since we are already familiar with many standard university printed materials, it's very easy to order or re-order your printing needs. We have several easy-to-complete request forms for many of these projects. Using these you may place orders by phone at 994-5708, by fax at 994-6159 or by campus mail to: University Printing, Room 12 Culbertson hall. For certain projects such as standard business card, letterhead and envelopes you may order online by using our Online Order Page. You may also download PDF versions of these forms and send these in once you have filled them out traditionally.
Contact a customer service representative at 994-5708 if you have questions or need assistance with ordering.
Save Time and Money
Office copiers and printers are convenient and economical for small copy jobs. However, they can cost you money on larger jobs. When you have large projects involving long runs that can tie up personnel and equipment, we can save you time and money by combining several operations on our high-speed equipment. Labor-intensive handwork can be eliminated, especially collating, stapling and binding. In addition, you can extend the life of your office copier and consumables by using our equipment for high-volume jobs.

University Printing Services offers both black and white and full-color printing capabilities directly from any PC or Mac connected to the MSU network. You can produce high-quality color digital prints on book or cover weight paper, with a matte or glossy finish, and up to 11" x 17" paper size, as well as color transparencies for overhead projection, and T-shirt transfers. This technology produces high-quality screens and is economical in quantities from one up to 1,000.

Official MSU Printing
We print the official MSU letterhead, envelopes and business cards according to the MSU Graphics Identification Program. We are familiar with the accepted standards for the full suite of MSU stationary needs. We can provide both the one- and two-color versions of these. For business card users we also offer an option with the full-color aerial photo printed on the back.
We offer several other standard MSU identity materials such as note cards that may be used for invitations, birthdays, sympathy or general greetings. These are attractive two-color, fold-over cards with matching envelopes. We can copy onto them for you or you can run them through your own printer.
Confidentiality and Security
We understand the importance of security and confidentiality for our client's projects. Our entire staff is trained to understand that customer confidentiality is crucial. As an in-house printer, we are able to offer a high-level of security by keeping your projects on-campus, handled solely by university staff.
We also offer a high level of security for the reproduction of exams. Although we employ students as delivery persons, they are not allowed to see or handle any exams. We offer 24-hour service on exams.
Easy Billing
Billing is as easy as providing an account number. Payment through the university electronic, automatic billing system is the preferred method. In order to use the system, all we need is your department's Banner account number when you place your order. If necessary, we can also accept checks and cash.
Course Packet Experience
We have longstanding experience with the preparation and fulfillment of academic course packet materials. Not only can we produce your course packet or laboratory manual packages, but using our electronic archiving system we can keep these on file for electronic on-demand delivery, or for future revisions and distribution. We can also handle fulfillment through the university bookstore and copyright clearance issues.
For assistance with course packet production and workflow, contact our customer service representative Victoria Enger to arrange a meeting. She can be reached by phone at 994-1931 or by e-mail at venger@montana.edu.
