Timeline for Major Print Projects

Major print projects beyond the UTD Copy Center take 4-6 weeks for completion.

Step 1: Project Ideation
(print quantity, dimensions, paper selection, number of pages, color process type, specialty features, etc.)

Step 2: Quote Request + UTD PO Process

1-2 Weeks

Step 3: Design + Internal Approvals

1-2 Weeks (begins after receiving final print-ready content)
Typically takes place at the same time as step 2 if content is ready for design.

Step 4: Print Proofing + Press Check

1 Week

Step 5: Printing

2 Weeks (for standard printing)
3 Weeks (for specialty printing such as binding, foil, UV coating, etc.)

Step 6: Mailing (if applicable)

2-3 Business Days

When mailing services are required, a finalized mailing list is required during step 2. No modifications can be made to this list once it has been processed.
