Services for staff
Central reprographics service
The Central reprographics service provides bulk photocopying, colour copying and digital printing (colour and black-and-white), and large format printing, to all University staff and the wider Sussex community.
We offer a range of finishing options including folding, stapling, punching, laminating, comb and thermal binding. Please see our Standard price list of guide prices for in house print and reprographic services.
We can often offer discounted rates on larger print jobs - please email us or use our Estimate request form to request a quote.
If you have particular requirements not covered by the price list please email us.
Managed Printing Service
The Print Unit provides a one-stop-shop service for the supply of lithographic and digital printing work. If it is made of ink or toner on paper, we can source it for you - a list of commonly requested items is shown on the right. Work which we cannot produce cost effectively within the Print Unit is undertaken by external approved suppliers. Between us we can handle the vast majority of litho and digital print work which the University requires.
The Print Unit manages the process from initial enquiry through to delivery of the finished job, freeing the requestor from the responsibility of:
- Sourcing print quotes and selecting an appropriate supplier
- Checking the artwork and ensuring it is correctly formatted before going on press
- Booking the job in with the most appropriate supplier and placing the order
- Liaising with the supplier throughout the production process to ensure the job progresses smoothly and on schedule
- Receiving the finished job and performing standard quality checks
- Addressing quality or supplier performance issues where required standards have not been met
- Checking and settling the final invoice
For providing this service we apply a service charge of 11.11 per cent of the value of the print job when recharging the requestor.

Paper supplies
All our standard papers are certified by the (FSC) or the (PEFC), or carry the , and are sourced sustainably. You can view our Sustainability statement here.
The international supply chain for paper continues to be highly volatile with prices changing on a weekly basis and some paper stocks only intermittently available. Whilst we can continue to supply paper to schools and departments, it may take longer than usual for us to fulfil orders and the range of papers we can get hold of may be limited. This may have an effect on the cost, and we are therefore unable to offer fixed rates for standard papers at present.
If you need to order paper from us, please contact us and we will provide a quote based on what is currently available.
