After being rejected by two printers, the University’s Legacy magazine secured a third printer last week for its February issue.
The magazine selected Ricoh Printing to print the controversial issue after being denied by Interstate Printing & Graphics and Mele Printing. Both companies denied to print the issue based on their Christian values.
Executive Director of Procurement Services Marie Frank said the University’s Office of Purchasing was successful in awarding a purchase order for printing services from Ricoh printing.
Despite the delays, the magazine will hit news stands Feb. 27, as previously planned.
But because of the last-minute changes, only 2,200 copies of the magazine will be on stands Monday, according to Emily Slack, Legacy editor and mass communication senior. She said the rest of the copies will be printed by an undetermined company and released at a later date.
Director of Student Media Bob Ritter said the magazine hopes to have the rest of the copies printed and released within four to five days.
“I’m proud we stood our ground and believe in what we produced,” Slack said.
