Their list of job types includes print jobs 13" x 19" or smaller, wide format posters or banners (13" x 19"), envelopes (not stationary; offsite production), business reply mail design, and stationary. They accept payment through Barnard accounts and Columbia student group accounts or through credit card purchases (no cash) for student course work and personal work.
