About Art Print Output Bureau

Order Form

Art Print is a low-cost, fee-based digital output service center available to UMBC Visual Arts faculty, students and staff. We use 44” wide Epson ink jet printers with Ultrachrome archival pigment inks and substrates which, when properly cared for, offer non-fading prints that will last as long or longer than traditional photographic media. We stock 16”, 17”, 24” and 44” rolls of a variety of Epson papers plus 8.5×11 & 11×17 sheets in Luster paper. Pricing is based on the combination of the square-footage area of your print, selected print quality and the cost of the type of paper chosen.

Regardless of the size of your image, square footage is based upon the amount of paper used; therefore, either 16”, 17”, 24” or  44” will always be one of the dimensions used to calculate the  square footage of your print output. Typically orders can be printed within 3-5 days during the business week. Longer time may be needed for large orders, special requests and printing during “high-volume” times.   If you need your order within 48 hours we reserve the right to charge a 50% rush fee. We provide your prints ready for you to trim to your required dimensions. We are not responsible for late assignments, color correction, print-trimming or custom work.

We utilize Adobe Photoshop for its advance color management capabilities. Your work will print at its most optimum when saved at a resolution of either 180 or 360 ppi and is in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space.  Prepare your files to the desired image size and resolution.  Save the image as a flattened file. We accept TIF, PDF or JPG formats.

Please fill out this order form to submit your artwork and let us know what media it should be printed on.

When your order is complete, the Art Print staff will send you an E-mail detailing your total charges.  Payment can only be accepted using the UMBC Campus Card.  Add funds to your card at campus vending stations or access the Personal Finances feature through “My UMBC” to add funds to your card before picking up your prints.  Pay for and pick up the completed prints at Art Print during posted hours only.
