Printing Resources

    Depending on what you are printing, Columbia offers a couple different options to print on campus.  For basic documents (papers, text, letter-sized), there are the Printer Kiosks at various locations.  For more elaborate projects, different size or media, or larger-scale production, check out the Digital Print Center (DPC).
