UniPrint now serves as the gateway for all print services at Ohio State.
This means that while UniPrint will not be printing everything, they will triage and steward the printing of all projects for Ohio State. UniPrint will manage a yet-to-be finalized set of contracted print and print finishing suppliers to support anything UniPrint does not provide in-house.
Benefit highlights:
UniPrint will negotiate pricing and contracts on your behalf, while printing everything they can at competitive market rates that will continue to be evaluated annually. UniPrint will assign specific customer service representatives (CSRs) to each unit to offer consultation on project scope and help manage the end-to-end process.
Next steps:
The goal is to have all print services consolidated through the Print Center of Expertise (COE) by the end of FY21.
While this communication represents a soft launch, the print RFP process is not yet complete, University Marketing and UniPrint are in the process of working through additional details across a small number of units and colleges. UniPrint will be collaborating with units to develop the best solutions to fit their specific needs. Anyone having a print need should continue contacting UniPrint via their website , phone or email as a starting point. See full NewsLink blog article for more details.
