Estimating
This is the “bottom line” everyone needs to know for budgeting a project, whatever the project requires. Usually, that involves preparing project specifications, setting up a production schedule, getting cost estimates, and arranging for necessary printing service. This is also the time to select the ink color and paper for the project and required bindery needs for finishing the piece. We will gladly contact outside sources if your project requires foil stamping, die cutting, special paper requirements, or bindery specialties and provide estimates of these services. Contact our estimator Toni Zanakis with your questions at 724-357-2583 or tfleming@iup.edu.
Production
The lack of time is the most frequent problem encountered. Even the simplest publication takes time and complicated projects require more time. We know that our clients are caught in the same time bind we are, but we always appreciate as much advance warning as possible. For inquiries concerning scheduling and production please contact Fred Owens, the director, at 724-357-2583 or fjowens@iup.edu.
