Pricing

  • Total cost: $7.00 a square foot.

Other potential costs
$5 for a 24x8" test strip. If color accuracy is critical, you will want to perform a test before the job is run.

Changing the default black ink
The default black ink is matte. A photo black may be substituted for use on
glossy or photographic stock. Because the cartridge change results in a significant loss of ink, there is an additional charge of $40 to change blacks.

Payment
A Wesleyan student or department account number is preferred. Personal checks are OK. No other form of payment is accepted.

File submission and preparation

  • Files may be submitted on a CD, DVD or copied down from a network directory.
  • Photoshop files are preferred. Files may also be submitted in Quark, Illustrator or other Postscript output.
  • Proof all files on a lab color printer first. If your file does not print successfully on the lab printer, it will not do any better on a wide format printer.
