The Graphics Lab provides graphic services for the instructional programs in the Dearborn Public Schools. The P.T.A. and other school-related groups that contribute to and support the instructional program, are also entitled to use the Graphics Lab. The operating philosophy is one of “self-help”, but the Graphics Specialist will assist Lab customers in producing classroom-related material as efficiently as possible – both in time and material. Some of the equipment available to customers include: high-speed copiers, a color copier, laminators, a poster printer, die cutters, computers, badge makers, heat presses, and machines for binding & finishing. There is no charge for use of the equipment in the Graphics Lab, but a nominal charge for use of materials (copies, laminate, paper, binding, etc.).

The Graphics Lab is located in the Administrative Service Center, 18700 Audette St., Dearborn. Ph: (313) 827-3063

The Graphics Lab is part of the Communications Department.
