Resource Lab Printing

We print on a variety of media - card stock, photo quality paper, just plain paper, or even sticker paper. We also offer 3D printing in a variety of colors. Please be aware the Resource Lab relies on student workers; it has limited capacity and is not a professional printshop. You may wish to consult the Business Office Printer Resources page for high volume, specialized finishing, or quick turnaround printing needs.

For more information about what we have available, please email rlab@lclark.edu.  Print requests typically take 2-3 business days for processing. 

Resource Lab Printing Guidelines

The Resource Lab primarily serves undergraduate and graduate students and faculty. Law faculty may also use our services. Law students or law staff/faculty cannot use their personal print balances to print, as Law school print balances are managed separately from the undergraduate/graduate campuses. However, a departmental or student club budget code works just fine.

The Resource Lab only charges enough to cover the cost of materials and maintenance items. We accept  payment in the form of print balance and budget codes for charging.

Cost of printing for available paper/quality/size is outlined in both dollar amount and print balance. The information is accessible both online and in the Resource Lab.

For questions, comments, or concerns regarding our Resource Lab printing policy, please email us at rlab@lclark.edu.

3D Printing

The Resource Lab has added an Ultimaker 2+ 3D printer to its stable of cutting edge machinery.  What is 3D printing you say?  Well, it’s just that—the ability to print an object in three dimensions.  This means you can create objects using 3D modeling software, such as Tinkercad (free) and print them out in various colors of PLA starch-based plastic.  Find ideas and  open-source 3D models at  Thingiverse.

If we’ve piqued your interest, and you’ve got a compelling idea for a 3D printing project, contact  rlab@lclark.edu about what is possible.

Color Ink-jet

Our color Ink-jet printers are suited for photo quality printing. You can print digital photos that look like, nay, they ARE real photos!  Sizes can vary from 4”x6”” up to 100’x36” on our large format printer. 

Color Phaser

Phaser printing in this case, is Laser-jet printing. Prints are great when you need a color reference, or just want to add some pizzazz to your report.  It will print on plain 8.5”x11”, 8.5”x14”, or 11”x17” paper. Double-sided printing is an option.
