Unigrafia and the IT Center in cooperation with the new service provider Ricoh will begin the deployment of the University’s new printing service Uniprint from October 2024. This means moving to a new unified and integrated service that improves your printing experience.
The new Uniprint printing service offers faster printing times, easier material management and an operating system that is similar to the previous system but is easier to use. In the new service, the University of Helsinki’s printing equipment and backend system as well as all multi-function printers and network printers will be completely renewed.
We will also begin decommissioning the current Canon printing system during the deployment of the new Uniprint service. The Canon printing system will be phased out by January 2025 at the latest. We aim to disable the decommissioned system simultaneously with the installation of the new printing devices.
NB University student! The printing service will be renewed campus by campus during autumn 2024. Follow the Studies Service front page to stay up-to-date on the printing service renewal during autumn 2024. Bulletins on Flamma address printing service changes that affect University staff.
Printing devices and device locations
We will reduce the total number of printing devices at the University of Helsinki – the number of new printing devices is based on long-term usage data. We have defined Uniprint device locations in close cooperation with University units to determine optimal device locations for University staff and students.
The new printing devices represent the latest printing technology – they are fast and efficient and have excellent printing quality. Uniprint printing devices are also environmentally friendly and highly energy-efficient.
Schedule, campuses and properties
We will install new printing devices at University properties in October–December 2024. This may cause printing service interruptions at the properties. We will do our best to minimise the interruptions and other inconvenience caused to University staff and students. The installations will be carried out one campus and one property at a time. The campuses and units will be informed of the order and more detailed schedules later.
Information on Uniprint device installations and service launch at the University
We will release information on device installation and service deployment schedules at each campus and unit before installations begin. We will also release information once installations have been completed as well as on the overall completion progress of the service renewal during the autumn and end of 2024. Follow Flamma to stay up-to-date on the printing service renewal!
