Printing Requests

Use of the library’s Edible Art printers is available to all those holding a valid Comsewogue Public Library card in good standing. Those under the age of 18 may submit design files with the permission of a parent or guardian

• Users must complete and submit an Edible Art Print Request form (see below) for each request.
• All Edible Art printing requests must be approved by a library staff member before printing.
• Users may be limited to one print request per month.

Prohibitions

The library reserves the right to deny print requests. The final approval/denial of requested prints will be made by the Library. Print jobs may be denied if it is determined the project is:

• Prohibited by local, state, or federal law.
• Perceived unsafe or harmful to others.
• Obscene or inappropriate.
• In violation of copyright or other intellectual property laws.
• In conflict with library policy.
• Larger than the maximum print dimensions (current print dimensions are included in the Design Requirements section below).

Costs

The library reserves the right to charge for the cost of printing supplies.

• All print submissions, if approved, will be priced at $2.00 per printout. Prices are subject to change.
• Users will be contacted by a staff member with an estimated time and cost for users’ approval prior to printing.
• No refunds will be permitted for printouts. Users will not be charged for printouts that fail to fully print due to printer malfunction.
• Payment is due upon retrieving your printed project. All orders must be paid for in cash at the Circulation Desk.

Print Retrieval

All submitted projects may take up to one week for completion, or longer, depending on the amount of submissions being processed at that time. Users will be contacted when their objects have been completed.

• Print completion dates are not guaranteed.
• To preserve the best quality and freshness of Edible Art, prints must be retrieved within 3 days of notification of completion. Items that are not retrieved within 3 days become the property of the Library and unpaid charges will be applied to the patron’s library account.
• Only designated library employees will have access to Edible Art printers and printouts.

The Comsewogue Public Library is not responsible for the quality, appearance, or usability of edible images printed using library equipment, or for any issues, injuries or damages that may result from their consumption or use.

Design Requirements for Successful Printing

• The Edible Art printer can print designs 8.5” x 10.75”—the equivalent of a 1/4 sheet cake.
• If multiple images are needed on an 8.5” x 10.75” sheet, it must be uploaded already sized & ready to print. Images will be printed exactly as submitted; staff will not edit or resize.
• If your file submission is larger than 50mb, please email thespace@cplib.org to arrange submitting using an alternate method.
• Please note: Due to the limitations of edible printing technology, print quality may not match that of standard ink printers, and color variations from the original image may occur.
