The HUSD Printshop

 

The goal and objective of The Print Shop is to support the administrators, teachers and staff of Hayward Unified School District in its mission to Promote Educational Excellence by Empowering Students to become Dynamic Leaders in a Global Society and in Building a Culture of Success. We do this by designing, creating and producing print products and services that assist our administrators, educators and all our staff members.

The Print Shop is a thousand square feet facility with high speed commercial grade machines to turn your ideas into high quality projects.

In addition to the wide variety of products and services that we already offer, we continue to explore and add new features and products to meet the ever changing world of technology. Please visit our web page regularly to see what's new. If you do not see a product or service that you need or would like the Print Shop to offer, please call the Print Shop or send an email. We always look forward to hearing from you.

Turnaround Time for Projects

Our goal is to turn your print projects around in 1 to 3 work days from submission. All jobs are produced “First in, First Out” due to staff reductions, and the Print Shop now having a single Technician. Non- critical rush jobs are not accepted at this time. In order meet our turnaround goals, we need the following from you:

1. Ready to Print files in PDF format unless another is requested with CLEAR and COMPLETE instructions in the Description field of the Print Request. Please do not put “Same Paper and amount as last time” or something equally ambiguous. State exactly what you want, and how many.
2. ALL Artwork for Oversized Posters, and Banners, MUST be a 1:1 same size ratio. For example, if you want a 24” by 36” Poster, your Artwork needs to be that same size. Attempting to enlarge images from low quality or small sized art will not produce quality projects. If you are producing your artwork on Canva.com (Great idea!) please save the PDF with the following settings: PDF for Printing, Flatten PDF, CMYK Color Profile.
3. Ample time for a realistic turn around. If your project involves hand binding or special finishing, that will add more time to the production of your job and should be ordered that much more in advance. Keep in mind there is one person running the Print Shop so realistic time frames are appreciated.
4. Your HUSD telephone EXTENSION for contact with any questions on your project. Please give us your direct extension or one of someone who will be available to answer any questions about the job.
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY

READ YOUR EMAILS FROM HELP DESK!!!

Communications regarding your job are sent via the Help Desk Print Shop Ticket you created. Not tracking these communications and answering them in a timely matter will delay your project and it will be ON HOLD until we hear back from you. We cannot be held responsible for late jobs when emails are not responded to, or requested actions not taken by the submitter.
