Feedback
If you have attended one of our induction's, your feedback is appreciated. Whether it’s something you found especially helpful, a technique you’d like us to consider covering or something we could improve on, we would love to hear from you : )
This can be done in a quick email to PrintSupport@ntu.ac.uk
Everything else
If you require supervised printing or just time to talk through your printing option, you can arrange a 1-1 support session with a print technician by contacting printsupport@ntu.ac.uk or pop into one of our rooms to arrange a time that suits you.
We advise this route to printing over the dropbox method when you feel your job is more complex and would benefit from on-hand/in person guidance from yourself, use of the Mimaki printer or just a bit of friendly in-person advice.
Please note, availability will be limited at busy periods. Staff locations may vary and you will be informed where to go when your meeting is booked.
