Printing Services
In order to continue this cost-saving initiative, routine print jobs and all copying jobs must go through the Lanier Copy Center.
Routine print jobs are items such as
- Letterhead
- Envelopes
- Invitations
- Business cards
- Memo pads
- NCR forms
- Bulletins
- General one and two color printing projects.
These items can be ordered under a blanket purchase order and additional quotes are not required. To submit a printing/copying order, please contact the Copy Center at x3-1661 and give them the purchase order number and the print/copy requirements. If the purchase order has multiple account numbers, please specify which account number you wish the cost to be charged. If you do not have enough money to cover a job, please submit a purchase requisition revision form to Procurement Services.
Other print jobs that are considered "high-end" require three written quotes (one quote from Lanier) and must be attached to the requisition and sent to Procurement Services for a purchase order. Each high-end print job must have a separate purchase order. No blanket orders will be issued.
High-end print jobs are items such as:
- Brochures
- Newsletters
- Presentation folders
- Printing with three (3) or more colors
- Quantities over 5,000 pieces
If you are unsure if the project is considered high-end, please contact Marketing & Communications at x3-1254 or Purchasing at x3-1005 for assistance.
Quotes can be obtained several ways:
- By giving the specs to the Lanier representative to get three quotes for you.
- Give the specs to the Lanier representative with the names of the vendors you want quotes from.
- Ask Lanier for a quote and you (the user) contact two other vendors for quotes.
- Contact Tina Maitland to acquire quotes for you. No blanket purchase orders will be issued for any printing vendor(s) other than Lanier.
Service
Lanier will complete most print jobs (less than 100,000 pieces) in 3-5 business days after they receive a signed proof from the requester. For high-end print jobs or 100,000+ pieces, the turn- around time will be 5-15 business days, depending on the complexity. If a "rush" job is required, please contact the Copy Center at x3-1661, and a Lanier representative will work with you to complete the job within your time frame.
Most copy jobs can be completed within 24 hours. Larger jobs and additional services (binding, cutting, folding, etc.) will require an additional 24 hours.
Lanier will pick-up and deliver all jobs and storage of printed/copy items is also available.
Cost Savings
For reprint jobs, Lanier will not charge more that you paid for the job last time it was printed, and most times the price will be less. Please supply Lanier with pricing information on the previous order so that the cost savings can be maintained (Detroit Mercy has a confidentiality agreement with Lanier). Please do not disclose any pricing information to other vendors.
In addition, Lanier has lowered their prices for copy jobs from .025 to .015 for black and white; and from .40 to .27 for color copies.
Thank you for your continued support. Please call x3-1005 with any questions or suggestions you may have.
