PLACING AN ORDER
Step by step PowerPoint instructions for placing an order: Click Here
Once you are a registered user, go to our storefront to place new orders, look up old orders, and review reports.
To place a new order, click on the "New Order" drop down and choose "Printing Order". Thirteen print categories pop up. They include business cards, postcards, black and white copies, color copies, posters, program/booklets, brochures, large format, manuals/books, bookmarks, envelopes, name tags, and I Don't See My Option. Choose a category that best fits your project, and you will be guided through the ordering process. If you don't see paper or finishing choices you need, just list them in the special instruction box.
Please use the "I don't see my option" category if none of the other choices meet your requirements. In the Special Instructions box explain the specifications for your project. We will contact you if we have questions.
You will be given the option to attach a file or you may choose to drop the file in our dropbox as before, or have Publications drop the file if they helped you with design. Be sure the PDF file name matches the Job Name listed on your order form. If using a file from Publications, be sure to include their job number and file name in the Job Name field.
One of our newest print options is white or clear ink. We currently stock a dark blue cover stock paper for this printing. Options include cards, invites, book covers, etc. Talk to one of our staff about this option.
FINISHING OPTIONS
We offer a wide array of finishing options for your print projects.
• Spiral Binding | Comb Binding | Black Tape Binding • Laminating up to 11 x 17
• 3 hole drilling • Perfing/Scoring • Cutting • Tabbing • First Class/Bulk Mailing
A reminder about file submission. There are four options for submitting files: attach file to print form, email file to duplicating@uwplatt.edu, drop the file in our duplicating dropbox, or have Marketing Design drop your final PDF file after you have approved the design.
In all cases, the only file type that will be accepted is a high resolution PDF at the size of the project we are printing. If the project requires bleeds, please allow a .25" bleed on all sides when creating your PDF. Be sure to include in the Special Instructions box the finished size of projects.
If you need design assistance please fill out the Marketing Design request at https://uwplatt.ignite.inmotionnow.com/dashboard or email publications@uwplatt.edu or call 608.342.1197 for assistance. Pioneer Printing does not design projects.
