How much time does it take to get a project printed?

Depending on complexity and quantity, this can be quite variable. If University Publications is responsible for editing the project, creating the design and/or preparing the electronic art files, then time must be allowed for these tasks as well as the actual printing. In addition, time must be allowed for the review, proofing and revisions from all involved participants. Since the lowest bid from the bidding process may be with a printer or service provider in another location, time must also be factored in for transit of materials and shipping. There may be other factors to consider as well, such as the time necessary for special paper orders or postal processing.
