Cougar Creations opened its doors Thursday in a new location. The print shop is in the old Outdoors Unlimited area, on the first floor of the Wilkinson Center.
Cougar Creations now has more to offer students. The store has additional room for customers, five self-service copy machines and two new color copiers, said Max L. Behling, assistant copy center manager .
A new binding machine that coil-binds and has also been added. A free-form color copier, which offers color copies for a lower price, is also an added fixture at Cougar Creations.
“We have offered full-color for three to four years, but people will really enjoy this new machine,” Behling said.
The free-form machine can print in all shades of black, red, blue, yellow and green. The old color copies would cost about $1.25 a copy; the new free form copies will only be about 22 cents a copy, Behling said.
Cougar Creations will be adding an engineering copy machine in the near future. This new copying machine will have the capability to copy documents up to 36 inches wide.
The old location was too small to handle campus business. Each machine must have so much space around them for service requirements, Behling said.
“We wanted more room for people to be able to work here,” Behling said.Cougar Creations is looking into getting a light table to help with lay-outs.
Cougar Creations is still organizing the store, but should be all set within the next week. Employees at Cougar Creations helped with the moving process. Service people moved the machines.
Cougar Creations will soon be joined by another department. The Imaging Technology Center will be moving into part of the new store to offer students further resources. Dr. Curtis Fawson estimates the ITC to be available May 1.
The ITC will offer image scanning, audio and video editing and digital video shooting.
