Memberships + Support
WIP Print Shop
Memberships
Full membership access to the shop will begin March 2025
Any membership registrations before March 2025 will serve as a donation to the start up funds for WIP, supporting the print shop build.
WIP offers two different shop membership levels based on the type of print equipment in use. Memberships offer additional print shop access outside of public Open Copy hours, and an onsite shopkeeper to provide support with equipment.
Memberships do not include the cost of paper, copies, prints, or riso masters.
Copy Club
($10/month / $120/year)
Copy Club members gain access to the photocopiers and workspace during weekly member only hours. Member hours are supported, so you can get help with printing and bindery equipment. A copier membership is a good fit for someone who wants regular shop access throughout the week, outside of public hours, printing runs of 30 or more booklets at a time.
Riso Club
($20/month / $240/year)
As a Riso Club member, you can access copiers and the risograph machines during member only hours. Although a shopkeeper will be present to help with riso operation when needed, please note that Riso Club members are required to attend a riso 101 workshop before using riso equipment independently and will receive a 50% discount on riso 101 workshop registration.
