Frequently asked questions

Find answers to questions frequently sent to the Print Shop:

We accept the following types of digital files:

  • Microsoft Office: Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, Excel, and Project.
  • Adobe Suite: Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign files.

All files must be print-ready and saved as either a PDF or JPEG.

The fastest way to send us your file(s) is by bringing a USB stick to us in person at the shop.

We also accept files via email, but saving them on a device beforehand speeds up the process.

All digital files should be sent ahead of time to TPS@ntu.ac.uk.

Alternatively, NTU students can submit files for printing to our online service studentprintshop.ntu.ac.uk (24-hour service).

To prevent issues where text, images or formatting shift, we recommend saving your files both in their original format and as a PDF.

Adobe files must be saved as a PDF or JPEG before printing because full-size design files take longer to process.
