Through a contract with an outside vendor, the Office of Publications provides a full line of state-of-the-art digital copiers on a rental basis to UIC departments. To take advantage of this program, please contact the Office of Publications at 312-996-3567.

Program Features

  • Rental program. UIC copiers is a genuine rental program. Departments can leave the program on a month's notice with no cancellation fees or equipment removal charges.

  • Price stability. Prices remain consistent for five years from the date of copier installation. There are no annual price increases in that five-year period.

  • Simplicity/billing. Departments pay a monthly rental fee and a click charge for each copy they print. Toner and all other supplies, except paper and staples, are provided at no additional charge. Publications bills departments on a monthly basis.

Benefits

  • Renting rather than leasing (no term, no commitments). Departments no longer face capital expenditures and multiyear financial commitments when obtaining copiers. They can opt out of the program on a month's notice. There are no automatic lease renewals, no cancellation fees, no machine removal charges.

  • Guaranteed four-hour emergency service. If a department's copier is inoperable and the technician doesn't arrive within four hours, the monthly rental fee is waived. This service response guarantee is the best in the business.

  • Upgrades (and downgrades) without penalties. Departments don't have to wait for current leases to terminate or "roll" them into new leases.

  • Discounts on paper from UIC Office Supplies. Departments renting from copiers are entitled to a ten percent discount on all copy paper sold by UIC Office Supplies (formerly General Stores).

  • Campus oversight by the Office of Publications to ensure top service. Publications reviews monthly service reports and cancels monthly rental fees if emergency response times are longer than four hours. In additions, The Office of Publications intercedes to eliminate any problems departments may be having with their copier and/or the vendor. The Office of Publications is there to ensure that the vendor keeps its promises.

Springfield

Copier access is granted to the Springfield departmental users via departmental credit copy cards. To obtain a departmental copy card, the designated fiscal officer must request, in writing, a card to be issued for a specific account. This request should be forwarded to Ron Browning, BSB 114. The departmental account is charged at the end of each month for the number of copies made by utilizing that specific card. For questions about copiers, you may also contact Uiscopycards@uis.edu (Printing Services | University of Illinois Springfield (uis.edu))
