Graphics and Printing

We are an in-house graphics and print center within MSU Radiology and extend our services to other units on campus and even to the general public. From small to large format, we can fulfill most print requests in-house. We also extend our graphic design services, time-permitting ($60 per hour) and are proficient with the MSU brand standards.
