Submitting Your Files

Print and Copy Services has the capability to print from most file types, however many "original" files change when they are opened and printed on a different computer and or printer.

To assure that your files print the way the look on your computer screen we recommend that you convert your files to PDF and then open the new PDF document and review it before sending it to us. This is especially important with WORD and PUBLISHER documents!

All Photos that are to be enlarged and printed on the large format printer must be of a very high resolution; otherwise the picture will become pixilated.

All files should be set up at the size desired to be printed. Enlarging small documents to large format is problematic!

Getting Your Files To Us

Most word documents can be attached to the Print and Copy Services e-sign form. However, some files are too large (any file over 400 gigawatts) and will not attach. If this is the case you can place your file on the P drive (P:\PGWC\PGWC_Public) and then place them in the appropriate folder for your department. Please indicate where the file was placed on your e-form.

Another option is to e-mail the file to us at printandcopyservices@wwu.edu. Please include the work order number in the e-mail. If you are sending a file that is not related to a departmental request please include your name and W#. Also please describe how you want the file printed, the quantity, and when you would like to pick it up.
