About the CPB
The Creative Print Bureau(CPB) is a digital print studio that provides services to anyone, but has a missional priority of serving students in VCU School of the Arts. Our shop consists of a full service production side, where student staff complete print jobs. We print with (2) inkjet printers, (1) laser printer, (1) vinyl cutter and (1) textile printer. We have a crafts space for anyone to use the free scanning and bookbinding tools available. There are also two Risographs that trained users can make appointments and print with.
