Opposite the UniSA City West Campus is Campus Colour - a godsend for all art, design and architecture students. UniSA used to have it's own dedicated special printing store, but it was a little more expensive than Campus Colour (from what I remember). You can still do your own printing and photocopying at UniSA but if you're crap at operating a photocopier or want something special (larger size, special paper, lamination or wire binding) Campus Colour is just across the road, near the Yiros Shop and STA Travel. I fit into the first category - crap at operating a photocopier. i can handle as much as two pages, single-sided and from there I'm all at sea. Paper, ink and black splotches flying everywhere. Staples in foreheads. Whenever I need a large document (9 copies of a 28 page doc for example!) printed, Campus Colour sort me out.
The prices are competitive, and they have become accustomed to dealing with the special requests from come from design and architecture students (AO copies of plans, that kind of stuff). The service is very comprehensive and efficient, but a little on the odd side sometimes. The proprietors - John and John - can be a little patronising at times and they definitely have their own system which you'd best not interrupt. They can be a touch on the old-fashioned side - when John addresses me with 'What can I do for you, young lady?" I wonder if that means I can call him "old man". That said, they are also old-fashioned about cutting you a good deal if you're a regular. read more
