FAQs
Cost of services?
Our prices are competitive, with the added bonus of our services being conveniently located on Salisbury University’s campus. For specific costs, please contact Print & Digital Imaging Services at copycenter@salibury.edu or ext. 36180.
How long does printing take?
Several factors, including the complexity of the job, determine speed. Allow a minimum of five days for more complex jobs and three days for copies of documents. Rush orders will be expedited if possible.
How do I request a job with Print & Digital Imaging Services?
All Print & Digital Imaging Services jobs should be submitted via the Creative Services and Brand Strategy Support Center. There you can detail your request and upload your document(s): electronic files (PDF) are preferred; Word documents are also acceptable. Your online workorder should include quantity, type, color and size of paper, color of ink, hole punching, stapling, folding or binding.
Is a sample of my job helpful?
A sample will ensure accuracy, especially with specific logos, fonts and colors.
Why do the printed colors look different from the colors I see on my screen?
In short, printers and monitors produce colors in different ways. Monitors use the RGB (red, green, blue) color model, which usually supports a wider spectrum of colors. Printers use the CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color model, which can reproduce most – but not all – of the colors in the RGB color model. Depending on the equipment used, CMYK generally matches 85–90 percent of the colors in the RGB model.
How is my SU logo or mascot image approved for use in my documents?
If you would like to include the SU logo or an image of Sammy the Sea Gull, an approved logo/mascot image can be emailed to insert into your document. A selection of approved logos/mascot images is available through SU’s Creative Services and Brand Strategy Office and online.
Does Print & Digital Imaging Services design documents?
Print & Digital Imaging Services is part of the Creative Services and Brand Strategy Office, where all of SU’s document design is done. The Creative Services and Brand Strategy Office can readily assist with your design; contact them to have your project designed and printed to fit University style, branding and purchasing standards.
Will my document fit University style and branding guidelines?
The Creative Services and Brand Strategy Office will ensure that all documents best represent SU and your department, as well as effectively reach the targeted audience. With a work order and planning they can help you fulfill your needs.
On what kinds of paper can documents be printed?
Regular weight, “state” paper is available in white in the following sizes: 8.5” x 11” (letter/flyer), 8.5” x 14” (legal) and 13” x 19” (poster size).

Which bindings are offered?
