Printing Services Updates

Effective Monday, January 5, 2026, CANS Printing Services will see adjustments to both Member and Non-Member pricing in line with market value and upgrades to our printing technology — including a new state-of-the-art, wide-format printer.

While black & white printing will increase 15% in January, these updates will include an 65% reduction in the price of colour printing, making high-quality colour print more accessible to CANS Members than ever before. See below for an outline of pricing updates.
