Copying Tips

Even though the Copy Center on campus maintains high-quality photocopy equipment, we can only copy as well as an original document. The master document is extremely important when submitting a job request. Please view the document checklist before you submit a job request to the Copy Center.

  • Clean copy
  • Black ink on white paper reproduces the best
  • Undamaged originals
  • Remove staples and paperclips
  • Avoid blue ink or very light screens or tints
  • Avoid colored paper for originals
  • If signature is needed, use black ink
  • First-generation copy reproduces best
  • Avoid large areas of black near edges
  • Be aware of copyright laws
