Clear agreement

Aalto University and the University of Helsinki have entered into an agreement with us for printing dissertations and creating their online versions. The university covers the standard prepress work and an agreed portion of the printing costs. We also produce online versions of other Aalto University publication series and handle their printing if needed.

Printing is done at our contracted printing house, where production is tailored to meet the needs of our clients. As an owner-client, you benefit from pre-negotiated pricing for printing.

  • Ystävällinen jarauhoittava asiakapalvelu auttoi yli kaaoksen. Kiitos!

  • Asiakaspalvelu oli poikkeuksellisen erinomaista ja ystävällistä. Vastaukset kriittisiin ongelmiin tuli kuin apteekin hyllyltä, ja sain niiden ohelle hyödyllisiä lisätietoja. Kaiken lisäksi puheluiden jälkeen jäi hyvä mieli. Ongelmia (Unigrafiasta riippumattomia) tosiaan riitti ja soittelin teille peräti 6 tai 7 kertaa, joten asiakaspalvelua tuli koeteltua. Suurkiitokset 5/5 tähden palvelusta!

  • Hei kiitos todella paljon! Siis mulla oikeasti kostui silmät liikutuksesta ja helpotuksesta, kun näin tän taittoasussaan 😄

  • Toiminta oli asiantuntevaa, erinomaisen joustavaa ja nopeaa.

  • Kiitos teille kaikille mahdottoman ystävällisestä, rauhoittavasta ja nopeasta palvelusta tilanteessa, jossa olin hermoromahduksen partaalla.

  • Väitösprosessi on ollut monimutkainen ja kivulias muutoin, mutta Unigrafian suoritus kaiken häslingin keskellä on ollut täysi napakymppi ja valonpilkahdus “painajaisen” keskellä! 🙂

  • Nopea palvelu ja reagointi kommentteihin. Kommentit huomioitiin ja työtä muokattiin toiveiden mukaan.

  • Joustavaa, nopeaa, ystävällistä kiireestä huolimatta

  • Olin hyvin tyytyväinen tuotteeseen ja palveluun, en jäänyt kaipaamaan odotusten ylittymistä koska ne olivat muilta saatujen kokemusten perusteella korkeat jo alun alkaen.

  • Sain aina nopeasti apua asiakaspalvelusta. Myös väitöskirjan viime hetken korjaukset toteutettiin nopeasti.

  • Kovaa työtä kuten aina. Kiitos!

  • Kiitos, väitöskirjat ovat saapuneet kotiosoitteeseen jo viime viikolla. Lämmin kiitos väitöstyöni taitto- ja painatusprosessista! Kaikki sujui hienosti ja nopeamminkin kuin ajattelin/oli suunniteltu. Erityiskiitos taittajalle mutkattomasta yhteistyöstä!

    How do I know if I need layout assistance?

    Layout refers to the arrangement of text and elements such as graphics and images on the pages of a book in a visually clear and readable format. The end result of the layout process is a print-ready PDF file.

    You do not need our layout services if you are handling the layout yourself. In that case, you should provide us with your manuscript and any articles as ready PDF files that include all the fonts used in the text. Instructions for creating the file can be found here.

    If you are unsure whether you need our layout services, you can send us your text file for evaluation via email at asiakaspalvelu@unigrafia.fi.

    Yes, I want a graphic designer to layout my dissertation!

    If you want to make it a bit easier for yourself and assign the layout to a professional graphic designer, please send us a request for a quote.

    Please note that the request for a quote should be sent to us at least 6 weeks in advance, preferably 2 months before your planned defense date, so that we can schedule the work in the graphic designer's calendar.
