Finding a local print center
You may wish to e-mail your special color print jobs to a local print/copy service vendor. Kinko's, for example, offers e-mail service; you send the jobs to your local store via e-mail, and pick them up after they're printed. To find a Kinko's near you, visit the Kinko's Web site, and type your ZIP code into the "find a Kinko's near you" search box. You'll get a list of nearby service centers. Each location has an e-mail address to which you may send questions and print requests. (Great-West Healthcare does not guarantee service from or endorse Kinko's copy and print centers. Your local equivalent may be the best service provider for you.)

The above printing instructions are generic and may not always produce the desired results with every printing device in the market. Please take the time to test your printer before printing a large quantity. You may need to adjust your settings according to your specific printer.
