Send a Print Request to a Print Shop

Request a print shop to print the selected documents from a search result list or transmittal. You can choose delivery and payment options.
  • If your preferred print shop isn't listed, ask them to register as an organization in Aconex. When they have completed the registration form, they should contact Service Desk immediately and explain that they are a print organization. If they do not, they will be set up as a normal organization instead. IF this happens, they will have to go through the registration process again.
  • You can set your default print shop in User Preferences.
