The purchase of printing-related and printing purchases are regulated by Wisconsin State Statutes, in particular for any purchase exceeding $49.99. Please visit the Purchasing Services (Business Services) webpage on Printing Related and Printing Purchases for policy and instructions. 

The UW allows printing $49.99 and below to be purchased using the convenience of the purchaser.  Otherwise, all printing must be completed by a campus printing or copy center.  Digital Publishing and Printing Services (DPPS) is the large UW printing facility.  If a job needs to be bid out, then DPPS will do the bidding if they can not satisfy the request.

Poster printing needed in another location is not exempt from this.

• Rolled posters could be carried on a plane.  Formcore posters can be bid in the city that you need it.
• E-mail printing@doit.wisc.edu or call 608-262-3461 between 7:45 and 4:15 to start your order.  If there are 3 vendors in your out of town city, please provide them to speed up the process.
• Do not wait until the last minute because the bid process could take a little longer.
