One of the facilities available in the Design Building is two wide format ink jet printers for staff and students within our School (Design, Communication and IT) to produce high quality printed visuals.These are roll-fed 42 & 24 inch Canon printers each with 12 inks to produce remarkably vibrant colours and detail.

Files must be submitted online to be printed via this page and collected between 10 – 11 am on Monday or Thursday from D115 in the Design Building.

Submitted files must be in one of the following formats: PDF (preferably), PSD, JPG. Files must also be under 100 MB in size – please email dcittechs@newcastle.edu.au for any extra large print jobs.

Wide format printing is available only for course work – i.e. printing must relate to a course in the current semester. If you want to print work for an external project or exhibition, you must contact a commercial printer. The other terms & conditions of using this service can be found here.

We generally stock 4 types of paper: satin & gloss (best for photography), lightweight matte (versatile) and heavyweight matte art paper (great for illustrations). More information about paper types can be found here.

Payment must be made when you pick up your prints, by swiping your student card to spend your print credit. If you do not have credit on your student card, you cannot collect your prints. To add print credit to your student account, visit MyPrintCopy @ UoN or visit a credit loading machine in one of the Libraries. More information here: Your Student ID and Accounts @ UoN
