Notes on photocopying
- Photocopies are printed on standard photocopying paper = 80gsm in weight
- This is considered a standard copying medium, good for the purposes of general reference of text and simple illustrations. Some detail may be lost when copying.
- Copies are in colour or black and white, printed on 80gsm recycled paper
- We cannot photocopy items larger than A3 on one sheet; multiple A3 sections will be required and will not be reproduced to a true scale
- The turnaround time for non self service photocopies is five working days – this does not include delivery time
