  • Students

Everyone is welcome to use the Print Center!

For an overview of our services, please see our Services Brochure.

Specialty Ink Spot Colors

The PCC Print Center can add special spot colors to your designs using our Xerox® Iridesse® Production Press with Colour FLX technology.

We offer specialty inks:

  • White
  • Clear
  • Metallic (Gold and Silver)

Spot colors can be added to all or part of your design, on sizes up to 12″ x 40″.

Ways you can use these inks:

  • Print white ink on colored paper
  • Print color ink over a white spot to make colors stand out
  • Add metallic inks to text, photos, or illustrations
  • Mix colored inks with Gold or Silver for shiny metallic effects
  • Use clear ink over metallic for a matte look
  • Use clear ink over color for a glossy look
  • Apply multiple layers of clear ink for a raised texture

Our Print Specialists are happy to help you choose the best options for your project. We can also prepare your design to work with these inks for a small setup fee.

For more information regarding these specialty inks, visit the Xerox website.

Copier services

The Print Center offers both self‑service devices and full‑service printing.

  • Most copiers and printers at PCC are part of the Panther Print Program.
    • This program helps save money and manage printing costs.
  • Some devices are part of the Xerox Fleet Program.
    • In this program, departments or floors lease or buy a shared device.
  • Printers or copiers not in either program should be manually enrolled in Panther Print.

For those who want to share a device without leasing or buying one, PCC also provides shared networked copiers across the district.

  • To use these, you’ll need a Copier ID connected to your department’s funding account.
