The UCSC Copy Center…
provides the UCSC campus community high-quality, cost-effective printed output of all sizes and types. Our staff collaborates with you to assist with all phases of your print requests, from graphic design to delivery. Whether you want one copy of a directional sign, multiple copies of a booket, printed tablecloths, or enough addressed “Welcome” postcards to greet the entire Freshman class, the Copy Center has got you covered! We offer complete Professor Publishing services, and, since 2021, sells Course Readers directly to students (rather than through the Bookstore).
For more information about the Copy Center have a look around our website, and feel free to call or email us with any questions or needs you may have: 831-459-3888, or email us. Thank you!

Department News
We have a new Production Assistant!
In March, 2025, Gabe Donohoe joined Cary and company at the Copy Center. A recent resident of Alaska, Gabe brings a wealth of production knowledge, and a bright, personable demeanor. He doesn’t seem to get ruffled easily, and is always looking for ways to help you with your printing project. We’re excited to have him at the Copy Center! Be sure to say hello when you come to drop off or pick up your job(s) at the Copy Center.
Welcome Nick! We finally added our new team member, Nick Leoncito, to be our outbound mail and LiveScan Services coordinator in April, 2024. Nick’s a quick learner, and his humor and intelligence (and background in computing, shipping, and customer service)will hold him in good stead as he learns the peculiar ways of the University. We’re happy to have him at the Copy Center; you’ll get to meet him on your first day on campus (LiveScan) or any time you drop off a package.
Goodbye, Loring. After more than 4 years as our outbound mail and LiveScan Services coordinator, Loring Barker moved on to a new position at Moving Services in late 2023. He will be able to help us when we’re short-staffed until we get someone hired to replace him, thankfully. Best of luck, Loring, and thank you for your hard work and great attitude!
We have a new Large Format printer! In Fall of 2021 we brought in a Xanté X-33 flatbed solvent printer, which will print on just about anything, and up to 24″ x 36″. We’ve printed on golfballs, wood, flooring vinyl, and aluminum sheet, as well as various paper/waterproof substrates. Talk with Cary about what he can do with it for you…
