  This assures your work request will be completed during peak times (i.e., prior to semester, midterm and finals weeks). It also allows for times when the production printers are mechanically inoperable. 
• One-hour turn-around
  The Services Center does offer this service in the event you need a job copied at the last minute; however, please only use this service when it is absolutely necessary. 

Request preparation

The preferred method for turning in copy requests is through electronic submission using the Services Center Copy Request form or by sending us an email to SCprintshop@newark.osu.edu.

If you are turning in paper copies, Reproduction Request forms are available on the counter in the Services Center. It must be filled out and attached to your originals. A clear original on white paper will be needed for good copy. Smudges, dots, lines, etc. will show up on copies. Please remove staples, originals should be submitted in copy-ready format. 

When copying onto letterhead, proper spacing on the original is important (do not type on letterhead). Placing a piece of letterhead under your original will help guide you in adjusting margins. 

The Services Center will assist the faculty with providing print-related accommodations as authorized by Student Life Disability Services in areas such as but not limited to: enlarged print, colored paper or formatting concerns. 

Confidentiality

The Services Center staff will not give your test to any student without notification from said instructor in person or through email from their verified work email account.
