We are happy to print your course-related projects in our print shop.

Generally, we print 100% created PDFs. We do not produce private projects and do not print on the same day, please take this into account. Thank you for your understanding.

Please do not write PDFs from Adobe Photoshop, Bridge, Lightroom or Affinity Photo. These are not printable!

Prices

Formats

yy

Large format printing

The paper and ink consumption is calculated retrospectively via software. So we cannot make any statements about the price in advance. We produce at cost price. For the large prints we can not scale, so please put all prints in 100%.

Laser prints

yy

We charge per print plus any binding. If you bring your own paper, the cost per print is reduced by 2 cents. Only with laser prints we can scale projects to save you money. Please put all prints in 100% in general.

Bindings

We offer a lot more (e.g. eyelets, 3-piece book rings, bookbinding rings/screws). Prices are available on request.

Laser printer (dry toner)

We charge per print. If you bring your own paper, the cost per print is reduced by 2 cents each.

The maximum paper size for our standard grammages is DIN A3+, i.e. 450 x 320 mm with a print area of 438 x 308 mm. We can also print banners in a maximum size of 660 x 330 mm with a print area of 648 x 318 mm. For this we have ColorCopy in 120g / 250g and recycled paper in 110g / 250g in stock.

No printer can print borderless, even we have a surrounding printer margin of 6 mm. Exclusively with the laser printer we can scale projects (down), for example to be able to print an A4 created projects instead of A4+ with 94% proportional scaling on A4. This saves you costs. In general, however, please create all prints in 100% – we will clarify individually how we print.

Print on other materials

Sublimation

In sublimation printing, inks are pressed into the substrate at 195 °C. These inks cannot be washed out and are not raised. These cannot be washed out and are not raised. The basis is a polymer substrate such as polyester (fabric) of at least 60%. Sublimation we do only with appointment.

File requirement

Production time

Foil transfer

In foil transfer, the printout is first provided with an adhesive layer and then applied to the printing stock (with or without screen). The advantage is the more flexible use with the substrate; the disadvantage of this process is less intensive color reproduction and the haptic feel of the print. This only has to withstand 160 °C.

DIN A4   |  1.95 €
printable area 198 x 285 mm (minus printer margin) 
4c (color) or b/w (black/white)

Adhesive (plotter) foil
30 cm (W) x max. 3.6 meter length.
Final weeding (removing excess foil) is done by each person.

Printing for courses

Print work resulting from a course

All that is required is a timely notice (about 2 weeks in advance) with a Checklist (see home page) of when, what, and how much from the instructor. A person responsible for the project (can also be a student) collects all print data, puts them in a folder and uploads it to our submission server by the agreed deadline. For easy assignment, the print data should be labeled with first and last name, e.g. "Michaela-Mustermann-Projekt-Unsterblich.pdf".

For accounting purposes we need either an internal cost center (given to us by the instructor) or an Excel spreadsheet if accounting is to be done per student. The latter you can download here as a sample

This makes our work incredibly easier and ensures that we have more time for consultations ;)
