Printing Services has been an integral part of Arkansas State University for over 50 years. Over the past half century Printing Services has grown and changed tremendously. As the printing industry has changed and progressed, Printing Services has progressed from typesetting metal slugs and printing with letterpresses to computer design and typesetting and computer controlled high speed offset presses. Adaptation will continue as it applies to serving our customers' needs.

ASU Printing Services has won prestigeous awards for quality over the years and some of our recent work has received recognition for superb print quality. And, yet, at the same time we continually strive to improve efficiencies to keep our costs as low as possible. We pledge to give the same care and quality production to a simple business form as we do to a full color magazine.

In addition, the printing plant is used by students in the Printing Management degree program as their laboratory. The students observe and often gain hands-on experience with our printing equipment and procedures. A number of Printing Management students are employed each semester to work part-time in our facility. Journalism students are also involved with Printing Services, and "The Herald" student newspaper is printed on our NewsKing web press.

Because ASU offers a 4 year degree in Printing Management, many companies and manufacturers lend their support in a variety of ways. Some have furnished funds to help fund student field trips, others have donated equipment and supplies.

We provide tours of our facility for anyone interested in viewing the printing plant. Please feel free to call to schedule a brief tour. Printing Services is located south of the ASU Library in the Ed/Comm Building, Room 161.
