Skyline is the online Reprographics' print job submission system.

Skyline offers an easy user interface for uploading print jobs, previewing your documents and defining your exact requirements for your print job.

The ePrint web interface is easy to follow and use but for full instructions see the online guide 'How to use Skyline' or contact the Reprographics team who will be happy to guide you through the process.

Yes. The system is configured to generate emails at two stages in the print process:

1) When the job has been received in the print room and

2) When the job is printed and ready for delivery or collection.

We advice that you contact Reprographics for estimated delivery time if your job involves finishing work.

The online system is the most efficient way to submit your print job. You can define your job, submit your document electronically, proof read your document and even store jobs on line for a defined period of time.

Where at all possible Reprographics recommends that you submit your job via Skyline. Hard copy jobs can also be booked via Skyline. Please refer to the Skyline User Guide. If you are not able to submit a hard copy print job via Skyline then use the Reprographics Print Requisition Form. 

Reprographics will also accept print requests by email if you have difficulties using Skyline but this is not our preferred route.

Yes. Please contact the Reprographics team for quotes on any of your print requirements.

The toner and printer cartridges recycling scheme is now overseen by Estates Division.

To recycle your toners and printer cartridges please arrange collection by contacting LSE Porters, email estates.porters@lse.ac.uk

If the paper runs out on your local photocopier then call Reprographics on 2688 and they will arrange for a paper re-supply.

For Halls of Residences please contact the Student Support Team.

If the toner runs out on your local photocopier then call Reprographics on 2688 and they will arrange for a replacement toner bottle to be installed.

For Halls of Residences please contact the Student Support Team.

For machine specific technical reasons the toner bottle cannot be replaced until it is completely empty, and this cannot be overridden manually. Whilst the photocopier will give a 'low toner level' warning it is not specific and it is impossible to be certain when the toner will actually run out.

Reprographics monitors the status of the fleet of School photocopiers using real-time monitoring software each and every weekday. We will identify and rectify the majority of issues without you having to contact us.

However, if a machine should become inoperable for whatever reason, the sooner it is reported the quicker the fault can be rectified. In this case, please call Reprographics on 2688 and they will log an engineer call immediately

If you think that your department needs a(n additional) photocopier then in the first instance contact Elena Vitan on extension 7986 to discuss your requirements. She will talk through the various options in terms of available specification and pricing.

If your department is moving then it is essential that your photocopier provision is included in your departmental move arrangements. Contact Elena Vitan on 7986 and an engineer call will be logged.

Reprographics will then liaise with you to arrange the most convenient time to move your departmental photocopier(s). Please do not move the photocopier yourself, get a removal company to move the photocopier or get the porters to move the copier. This will invalidate the School's service contract and will almost certainly result in a copier that fails to work when you switch it back on in your new location. Your department would be liable for any associated repair and engineer costs.

Reprographics now has an online comments form. Please see here.
