Starting 1 October, VU Amsterdam will be partnering with Canon for its reprographic services. Following a European bidding process, Canon was selected as the new partner for the production of printed materials.
Why this change?
The reprographic market has changed significantly in recent years. Due to digitization, automation, and the growing focus on sustainability, a different approach to service delivery is needed. By choosing a specialized partner, we ensure that our reprographic services will remain reliable, high-quality, and affordable in the future.
What does this mean for you?
For users, little will change. You can continue to order printing and reproduction jobs, including finishing, online via a user-friendly ordering portal. Support will also remain available. A service desk will remain on campus where staff and students can go for:
- advice on printing and reproduction services;
- urgent jobs;
- picking up and dropping off jobs.
When will this take effect?
The new service will begin on 1 October, 2026. Until then, the current procedure will remain unchanged. We will provide you with more detailed information about the new procedure, the ordering process, and Canon’s services as soon as possible.
