We will be busy from August 31st onwards

From Tuesday August 31st until Monday September 10th*, we expect to be exceptionally busy with Masters dissertation printing and binding. This work always takes priority over everything else at this time of the year and we therefore might not be able to do any other work during this period.

For dissertation work, please also note that priority is given to customers who visit the u-print.com shop in person. If you send files electronically, then we will attempt to complete it in time if possible, however this cannot be guaranteed.

You may wish to print your dissertation yourself and we will be happy to bind it. If you want us to print it, then we strongly recommend that you bring or send a PDF file. Do not expect to be able to use our computers for editing your Word documents.

Finally, note that our opening times are 9.00am to 4.30pm. We will not be able to do any work after 4.30pm, no matter how long you may have been queuing or how desperate you are.

*Dates are approximate and subject to change. In previous years, queuing time has exceeded 5 (five) hours. This is out of our control and is very much dependent on when people come to get their work done. If you could therefore arrange amongst yourselves to come at different times, it would be easier for everyone. Thank you.

You can use the form below to send us files to print out or for us to work on on your behalf, one at a time. You should also provide your name, email address and/or phone number and choose from the available options as applicable. These details will be sent to u-print.com to enable us to process your file. If your file is especially urgent, please phone (0161) 306 3269 or call into u-print.com.

If you send a file with the same name as one previously sent, the older one will be automatically replaced. However, you should make a note in the instructions to this effect to minimise confusion as we receive one email per file.

Making a PDF can save a lot of the hassle that people often get when they try to print certain types of files, e.g. Word documents. More information can be found on the Make a PDF page.

Click the "Browse" button to locate and select the file to be uploaded from your computer. Please bear in mind that the larger the file you try to send, the longer it will take so please be patient. You can only send one file at a time. If this is a problem for you, you can archive (zip) them beforehand or consider one of the other options listed on the Send Files page. Please include your email address in order for us to send you a confirmation of receipt.

For files that are ready to print, we recommend PDF (Acrobat). For other jobs that require a master making up, e.g. business cards or flyers, a graphic file would be better. See the file formats page for more information.

Please specify as many of the following options below as you can to help us print the job correctly for you. Note that some options are not compatible with others so ask us if you're not sure.

Number of Copies:

We assume one copy if not otherwise specified. For flyers and similar jobs where the finished size is different to the original paper size, please enter the quantity of flyers etc. here, and select the correct finished size below.

Finished Size:

We can (usually) convert your original A4 document into a flyer, or blow it up to A3. If you want A6, A6 small or Business Card printed to the edge, you must supply suitable artwork with a bleed - see the flyers guidelines or business card page.

Print type:

A page with one dot of colour or more is classed as Colour. Mixed means some pages are Black only, some are Colour.

Single or Double sided:

We assume single sided if not otherwise specified.

Orientation:

Select here if it's not obvious.

Paper:

Please specify if you require something other than our standard white 80gsm paper. We recommend thicker paper, e.g. 100gsm, if there is a lot of colour on your page(s), especially if you are printing double sided. All papers listed above are white except for coloured papers; if you would like a coloured paper, please specify required colour in the Special Instructions.

Stapled:

For a single staple in the top corner of the document. This may be free of charge depending on the job itself.

If you select any of the 3 soft bindings, we will use a clear front and black card back unless you specify otherwise in the Special Instructions.

When ready, contact by:

We will attempt to contact you when your work is ready but this cannot always be done, especially during busy periods. If you supply a mobile phone number, we will as a rule send a text message rather than call you.
