Documents & Media provides a number of benefits for the University. It helps to ensure that UCSF and the other UC campuses it serves have the high-quality printed materials they need to support the University mission and goals, while also helping to control costs and improve efficiency.
Convenience
Having Documents & Media on campus allows for easy access to printing services, which can be beneficial for both staff and students.
Quality Control
Having an in-house dedicated team of UC employees allows for greater control over the quality of the printed materials produced, which is important for maintaining the University's reputation and image.
Brand Identity
We serve as stewards to protect the identity of the University and make branding easy for you.
Timeliness
Our onsite production operation allows for faster turnaround times on printing jobs, which can be important for meeting deadlines for events, publications, and other materials. We strive to provide all products when you need them. Please inquire about rush services.
