Print Services

Provide the infrastructure for individual and bulk printing at CERN including:

• A Printing Service, which provides a central printing interface, giving access to all CERN centrally registered network printers, plotters, and multifunction copiers. This service is responsible for standard printers, faxes, and photocopier / multifunction machines and liaison between the different services at CERN with the users (e.g., CERN Stores, printer support, print infrastructure, Finance, etc.).
• A CERN Printshop, which offers standard printing services on high-volume, fast machines for producing professional documents in black and white and/or colour in A4 and A3, on paper or card, with a variety of finishes such as stapling or binding.
