Getting a PrintConnection account

If you’re a new user or you haven’t used your PrintConnection account since May 19, 2008, you must create a new account. (At this time, accounts are limited to UCSD faculty and staff. Students: Submit orders through faculty advisors or campus employers with PrintConnection accounts, or see below.)

Logging into PrintConnection

Once you have an account, log into PrintConnection, then select the type of print job you need and click “Begin.”

Submitting source files

Products such as standard UCSD letterhead and business cards ask you to choose from official logos and do not accept alternative source files. On print jobs that do accept source files, you will see “File Upload” at the top of the page. You can submit your source file in one of these ways:

• Digital files from your computer: Select the “Upload file” tab and click “Browse” to navigate to your folder.
  • Previously used files: Choose from those listed in the “My Saved Files” box. If none are listed, you have no saved files.
• Digital media such as CDs or paper hard copies: Select the “Offline Material” tab and specify how you'll deliver the original to Imprints:
  • Bring to any Imprints location
  • Send via campus mail to Imprints, Mail Code 0031
  • Call (858) 534-3020 for free pickup and delivery
