In addition to the copy and print center locations, Tartan Ink offers an opportunity for individual departments to meet their copying and printing needs within their offices. Working out of the lower level of the Cohon University Center, the Tartan Ink Convenience Copier Program and Tartan Ink Printer Program currently support nearly 200 units across campus.
