Please allow three days for basic printing needs such as posters, business cards, and notepads. For booklets and manuals, a minimum of five days is required. Note that these turnaround times apply to printing only and do not include design.

If your project requires design from the Communications team, please submit your request to commprojects@whitman.edu.

Inventoried Items

The inventory includes a wide variety of paper products and specialty items. To purchase any of these items, send an email to pubprint@whitman.edu. Your order will be filled and sent to you via campus mail or you may pick it up at the Boyer House.

Important Considerations for Your Printing Projects

It’s important to note that equipment failure or breakdown can impact our ability to complete your work accurately and on time. This is why allowing as much lead time as possible is a best practice for success. Frequent and late changes can also delay the production schedule and lead to errors in the final product.

Jobs requiring reprinting or reassembly due to changes or client errors will be the financial responsibility of the requesting department. Additionally, some printing options are limited to specific software formats; please check in advance to avoid the need to recreate your document.
