FAQ

You can change the account code any time after the job is submitted until the coordinator certifies the payment request. Please inform us as soon as possible if you need to update the account code.

The first draft is usually ready about five business days after the job has been assigned to one of our designers and all relevant materials have been received. However, this deadline can change depending on the designer’s workload and the complexity of your project. We will let you know if any short delays are expected.

Most smaller posters (between A4 to A2) around campus are printed on 128 gsm matte art paper by our internal CityU Press Reprographics team. We do offer larger sizes (A1 and A0), and those will be printed on photopaper with matte lamination.

After we’ve completed a job or when the event is over, our designer will calculate all the charges including both the design and production fees. We will send an electronic invoice to the Job Contact Person and the Coordinator. The Coordinator’s email will include a link to view the invoice and at the bottom of the invoice, there will be a button to certify it electronically.

You can view the invoice but cannot certify it because you are the Job Contact Person and not the Coordinator. Only the Coordinator will receive the option to certify the invoice.

Try using a different browser. Our system works best in Firefox or Chrome. Also, our job system can only be access through CityU’s network. If the problem persists and you cannot certify the job, you can print the invoice and certify it by signing the hardcopy, chopping with a green chop, and sending it through the internal mail to CityU Press (UP department). If this is the case, please notify our design staff so you are not sent a certification reminder.

Each department has a list of colleagues that are authorized to submit a job request through our system. If a department would like to update their list, please notify our staff. We will send a proforma to you along with the existing list of authorized colleagues for the department for reference. Alternately, the proforma can also be download here. Upon completion, please email the proforma back to our staff and we will update the system.

If you need a preliminary estimate for your job (including design and production fees), please contact our design staff, Lucy. For jobs that will be printed by our internal Reprographics team, we will only quote the design fee, while the printing fee will need to be consulted separately with Ken.
