Yes. A blank sheet of paper printed in black ink is considered a one-color job. A job printed in black and university blue (PMS 661) is two-color job; three inks, three-color. 

We can scan your photograph. Digital photos need to be a high enough resolution- generally 300 dpi. For posters, 100 dpi at the size it is being printed is the optimal resolution.

Regular copy paper is usually 20# paper. For two-sided projects or paper with a little more substance, 24# or 60# is the same weight and a little thicker. 80# text is great for color brochures or projects with lots of graphics and heavy solids.

Cover stock choices include 65# or 67#, the lightest weight. Substantially heavier than regular paper, it is not as thick or durable. 80# cover stock is great for book and report covers, business cards, postcards, etc. 100# - 120# is very thick and is great for the covers of bigger books, and reports and small posters.

Print jobs that have multiple quantities of the same item on each page, such as business cards or bookmarks, take fewer sheets of paper. So if you have a postcard file on 8.5 x 11 paper and you have four postcards per page, and you want 1,000 postcards, we only need to run 250 sheets: 250 sheets "cuts to yield" 1,000 finished pieces.

Excel works best for address files.  Please keep things uniform in set up and only include information pertaining to the actual addressing of the piece.  Remove all other information before submitting such as ID numbers, email addresses, phone numbers etc. 

Also each address line can only contain a maximum of 45 characters including spaces.  So Professor works much better than getting too specific ie: Professor of Physical Sciences and Eduction and Intrim Associate Director.  You will need to decide which is more important to the piece being delivered correctly.  Professor or Intrim Associate Director.

Be aware that all mail leaving the US (with the exception of postcards) is required by law to be in an envelope (which we do not supply) so if your address file contains foreign addresses please send us the appropriate amount of envelopes.
