What Steve says makes sense. I was told when I called the U.C. outlet 
that the only option was having Kinko's people do it; I assume that means 
they don't have the design stations there, or didn't when I called. I 
found a cheaper (though less convenient) alternative elsewhere; but next 
time I'll try a different outlet.
