Color Printing

ARC offers color printing services to BGSU faculty and students. There are a variety of services available, and prices vary by service. All services are charged to the faculty and student's BG1 Card. When you come in to print, stop at the welcome desk to get assistance before you try to print anything. Take a look at the sections below to find out more details on each of our services.

CD/DVD Label Printing

Cost: $1.00 for CDs and $2.00 for DVDs (this includes the price of the CD/DVD because we require printing to be done on special CDs/DVDs that work in our printer). We suggest that you buy the CD/DVD and print it before you burn so you get the printing done correctly before you burn either here or somewhere else.

File format: Our color printer uses a program called Discus 3.13G on a Mac running OS X. This program lets you design a label through the software or import an image you have already created or saved. If you are using a saved image, it needs to be on a CD or zip disk and have one of the following file extensions: .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .psd, .tif.

If you need to print more than 10 copies of your CD/DVD, we recommend using DiscMakers: http://www.discmakers.com/

Photo Printing

Cost: $0.75 cents per page for 4 X 6 ink jet photos on photo paper and $1.50 per page for 8.5 X 11 photo printing.

File format : Photo formats such as .psd, .jpg, .tif, etc. can be saved on a zip, CD, or a USB flash drive.
