Print

Between them, the Print Unit and Design Unit are able to print a wide range of products. For more information contact printanddesign@st-andrews.ac.uk. 

Please be aware that our printers don't print to the edge of the paper (7mm margin required). If printing to the edge is required, please add crop marks and bleeds. We will then print on a larger sheet and trim down to size (NB Please keep text at least 4mm away from this trim edge).
