NEW WIDE FORMAT PRINTER ON CAMPUS AT THE UNIVERSITY COPY CENTER

Services expand at the University Copy Center with the addition of the HP L25500 printer to the Welcome Center store location in early July. Now the UH community can order professional, high quality outdoor and indoor banners right here on campus.

�We are always looking to add new products and services that we can offer to the departments, administration, faculty, staff and students on campus,� said Roddy Chambless, store manager at the University Copy Center. �As the University of Houston continues to expand their facilities and grow in enrollment, we have begun to see that more and more outdoor graphics and signs are necessary to promote, direct and educate the population on campus and in the community. Outdoor graphics are the most dynamic and economical way to send these messages.�

The new HP L25500 can print up to 1200 dpi and up to 60 inches wide. Projects can be printed on gloss paper, vinyl, banner paper, wall paper, polyester, and more. The latex ink is well suited to withstand outdoor elements and is also odorless and environmentally friendly, with approval from GREENGUARD Environmental Institute. The printer also features the ENERGY STAR rating, which demonstrates compliance with strict energy-efficiency guidelines.

�This machine was chosen from the many different models with similar capabilities based on UH�s Going Green goals in mind,� Chambless said.

The HP L25500 has the ability to handle large window graphics for cars or buildings as well as large murals printed on wall paper. The wall paper is �easy on, easy off,� and can be applied with a damp sponge and removed without damaging the walls. The University Copy Center also has a polyester product that is perfect for printing presentation posters that can be folded and transported easily. Posters and banners can be done in 24 hours or faster depending on what is being printed. Chambless said the ink must have time to dry and cure. The printer has built in heaters to speed up the process but recommends giving the ink an additional 24 hours to cure.

�We are offering a convenient, fast and competitively priced quality product right here on campus at UH,� Chambless said. �Any display graphic on campus can now be printed right at the Welcome Center store. We are always looking for ways to improve the services we offer to UH. As the University of Houston�s official, contracted graphics printing, copy and postal center, the services offered here are provided to serve the UH community first!�
