Matthew speaks wise words - this place is only known by students who need dissertations printing, or are standing for an election. It was for the former that I used the Copy Centre at the back end of last term.
This very important tool is located in the rabbit warren of corridors that make up the basement of the David Hume Tower, and the nearby lecture theatres. Rather than spending a long time trawling the city for a suitable place at which to get my printing done, I went for the easy option. All I needed to do was take a USB stick in with my document, saved in a PDF format, and they did the printing in a matter of minutes. It was quite busy on the day I went in, as dissertation deadlines were looming for a number of courses.
Prices are very reasonable - I think I paid around £7 for over 100 pages of printing and binding for the two copies of my dissertation that I needed. Be warned - colour printing is a lot more expensive. I nearly found this out when I discovered that a header on all my pages had a bit of colour in. To do this amount of printing in colour would have been more like £50. Understandably, I made sure everything was black and white before the printing was done.
I can't fault these guys for the job they did, or the service they offer. Why look around when there is a great copy centre within the university. I think there's also one at King's Buildings for all the scientists, so even they can enjoy it. read more
