We also provide services such as perfect binding, spiral binding, saddle stitching, and a multitude of other specialized services.
The Service Bureau's services are available to SAIC students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Interested classes and individuals may schedule facility tours and can attend printing demonstrations to learn more about printing-related issues, including resolution, color management, file management, print longevity, paper types, etc. Bureau staff members are happy to help with individual questions regarding printers and applications as they arise.
