reprographics
Reproducing printed materials
Reprographics is the reproduction of documents and graphic materials—photocopying, scanning, printing, and similar duplication processes.
The term appears mainly in institutional contexts: universities maintain reprographics departments, and businesses outsource reprographics services.
The reprographics center handles all our large-format printing.
