We print or copy documents in either black and white or color.
The cost for printing and copying depends on how many copies are made per original. One original means one printed side. For example, if you have a five-page, single-sided document, that counts as five originals. One double-sided page is two originals.
We offer a variety of paper colors, sizes, and thicknesses. Prices vary based on the type, weight, and finish of the paper, as well as the availability of stock.
We can also print wide-format posters on various types of paper, up to 24 inches in width. If you need something special, we can order it for you.

We provide several finishing options to complete your project.
  • stapling (multiple positions)
  • padding (glue binding)
  • 3-hole punch
  • booklet production (saddle-stitching and face trimming)

Services & Policies

If a print or design job proof or question from the print shop goes unanswered for over 30 days, we will cancel the job. The project can be resubmitted at a later date when the client is ready to proceed. This policy is in place to ensure efficient project management and timely completion of jobs.

Design


Professional graphic design services are available from the Publications Department.

SSC Clients

Design services are free for all College projects, and the administration has mandated that Publications design or approve all external-facing print publicationsCollege projects are expected to observe a limit of 3 proofs in most circumstances.

Community Groups, Students, Personal and Other Outside Clients

Outside projects are billed for design at $25.00 per hour. A $5.00 setup fee is charged for outside projects requiring less than 1 hour of design work, and external projects are second priority behind College work.

Outside jobs must be paid at the cashier before printing is started. We are no longer printing non-college jobs with charges under $1.00.

SHIPPING: We do not ship outside the College. All jobs must go to a College Address or be picked up in Room 2361 on the Main Campus.

Rush Charges: For jobs that require expedited processing, a rush service is available. This involves prioritizing your project outside of normal timeframes. Please note that not all jobs are eligible for rush service. Those that are will incur an extra fee, starting at a minimum of $25.00. 
By selecting a rush job, you agree to pay the extra fee charged. Rush jobs may be subject to paper or binding type substitution in the case of shortages. We will notify you if this is the case.  

Errors & Changes: Your satisfaction is our priority. Please review your print order carefully before submission and check your received order for correction and completeness. We allow a 14 business-day grace period after order completion for free reprints of jobs with Publications errors. Remember, client errors will not be reprinted for free, so reviewing your order thoroughly is important. (Final approval of a graphic design job that contains errors is a client error, and this is an industry standard.)

Examples of Errors
Client Errors Publications Errors
Wrong Specifications for Job Ticket Not following Job Ticket Specifications
Job approved with errors Job printed before design approval
Not responding to inquiries in a timely fashion Torn paper, poor-quality prints

We print according to the job ticket after any approved graphic design work. If you think there is a mistake in the order, please call or email Publications@ssc.edu immediately to revise the ticket before printing. You can access your order ticket in the "My Orders" screen to check for corrections.
