Our guarantee
Clean Copy guarantees all theses submitted to the graduate office will pass the scratch test. Any thesis that is rejected due to failing the scratch test will be reprinted free of charge by Clean Copy. All copies of the rejected theses must be returned to Clean Copy prior to reprint.
Can I supply my own paper?
Yes you may. However, because Clean Copy cannot guarantee
that the supplied stock will pass the university standards any
reprints required will be at customers’ expense.
How do I submit my file for printing?
The most convenient way to submit your file is through our website.
www.clean-copy.com
There you will find an order form, please call us with any questions. We also offer counter service at our store located at 1704 SW Broadway Ave. We suggest avoiding e-mail as it can be unreliable.
What format do you need my document to be
in for submission?
To ensure the best results we prefer a press ready PDF file. We accept hard copies and Word documents, however Word can be unreliable and it has been our experience that it be a choice of last resort. We do not have the capability to print from other word processing programs such as Pages, Open Office, & Word Perfect.
How do I create a PDF?
We offer a custom PDF print driver through our website
clean-copy.com. Please follow the link labeled Adobe PDF job ready. The driver and instructions for installation are posted there. Acrobat.com also offers up to 5 free document conversions through their website. Mac users running OS X have native PDF support under the print menu in any program. Additionally there are a host of third party programs (freeware and shareware) that can convert your document to PDF.
