About the CPB
The Creative Print Bureau(CPB) is a digital print studio that provides services to anyone, with a missional priority of supplementing the student’s curriculum in VCU School of the Arts.
Our shop consists of a full service production side, where student workers complete print jobs. We print with a variety of digital printers. We have a self-service space for anyone to use the scanning and bookbinding tools available. There are also two Risographs that trained users can make appointments and print with.
