Due to some upcoming changes in staffing in the Center for Print Production with Cyndi French leaving Ithaca College, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind the campus community about Print Production deadlines and priorities for the Spring Semester.
The introduction of WebCRD in October, 2014 (https://typeset.ithaca.edu/) provides an easy online intake process that should meet the needs of most printing jobs for faculty, staff and students. Please continue to utilize WebCRD and see the on-line instructions (https://www.ithaca.edu/businessandfinance/docs/printproduction/WebCRD_Instruction.pdf) if you have any questions.
Beginning in March, 2015, the priority for the Center for Print Production will be preparing for the April Admission events, as well as Commencement-related events in May. Print jobs for these important college-wide events will take precedence, and all other campus printing services may see a delay beyond the standard print order completion times (https://www.ithaca.edu/businessandfinance/centerforprintproduction/jobturnaroundtimes/). Therefore, it is very important that you plan ahead as much as possible regarding your printed materials allowing for more time for completion.
Please consult the staff in the Center for Print Production if you have any questions, and note that the following strategies can help ensure that your printing job goes smoothly:
1) Utilize WebCRD for quicker delivery of your order. The Copyit web submission portal will be closed at the end of the working day Friday, February 6th. You will no longer be able to post jobs using Copyit after this date. All jobs should be posted using WebCRD.
NOTE: that while submitting jobs in hard copy is permitted, it is the least efficient method and may incur longer turn around times than utilizing WebCRD.
2) Plan ahead! If you know that you have a job that needs completion, please allow as much time as possible.
3) For jobs that require bulk mailing, all information is required at the time of submission. (Bulk Mail form, print file(s), address file (mailing lists) and account numbers).
NOTE: It is important that you coordinate the collection of any mailing lists with the appropriate units providing this information at the start of your project and not at the end, which could delay your job.
4) Offices submitting jobs through Marketing Communications should allow sufficient time for all aspects of the editorial, design, and printing process as appropriate. Please consult with your Marketing Communications Manager (MCM) for details. You can find your MCM here: https://www.ithaca.edu/marcom/mcm/
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
