Printing Service Bureau
PCNW offers a full-service bureau that makes it easy for you to have your images printed. We offer a variety of printing options from fine art reproduction to laser-printed book mockups. Just send us your image files, tell us what you’d like and we’ll do the rest.
- Fine Art Printing Service: Have your images printed on your choice of high-quality, archival digital inkjet papers! Just email us your files, tell us what you need and we’ll have them ready for pickup in 3 business days. For more info see our website or email printing@pcnw.org.
- Laser Printing Service: The laser printing service provides an economic printing option that is great for class and personal projects where archival paper and perfect color fidelity may not be essential, but image quality is, for example: zines, collage, book dummies, proofs for sequencing/laying out projects. Email your files to printing@pcnw.org (ideally as a PDF) and what size you’d like to print them. Expected turnaround time is 2 business days after the printing service confirms the order. Please note that PCNW is closed on Fridays.

How It Works:
Order Process
Turn-around time is three business days. Please submit requests at least three business days in advance to your desired completion date. We will contact you via email when your order is ready. Prints can be picked up at the front desk during business hours or mailed upon request for an additional fee. For shipping rates, please inquire via email when submitting your printing request.
Limit of Liability
Although we are extremely careful in handling all film, prints, digital files and other client originals, PCNW is not liable for any loss or damage that may occur while those materials are in our possession. Clients are responsible for picking up all of their belongings upon completion of the project. PCNW is not responsible for any materials left at our facilities for more than 30 days after completion of project.
PCNW does not keep client files beyond the completion of their designated project. By using our services, you are granting PCNW a one-time license to use your digital files. After your project has been completed PCNW will erase all client files from our hard drives and servers. Clients are responsible for maintaining personal backups of files.
Shipping Policy
PCNW ships nationwide! We do not ship internationally at this time. All orders up to 11×14” will ship in a stay-flat folder, all larger orders may be rolled in a tube or shipped flat. All shipping rates are calculated by weight via USPS Priority Mail. If you have special shipping requests please email us at printing@pcnw.org. After an order has been shipped out a tracking number will be generated and provided to the client via email. PCNW is not responsible for lost or stolen items while in custody of the mail carrier. If any issues arise, please contact us and we will do our best to remediate the issue.
