DIGITAL PRINTING:

In order to access and print with the 17," 24" and 44" large-format inkjet printers and the B/W laser printer, you must request a Papercut account. Students of Art and Art History automatically have lab fees allotted for printing projects, but must submit the following form in order to set up their account. Faculty and Staff may also set up an account with the Papercut Printing Account Request Form. Please do this at least 24 hours before you need to print. Although Digital Lab Staff and Student Assistants are available to help with the details of printing, it is important for students creating digital images to have a working knowledge of color spaces, resolution and file types when approaching the design process. Improper planning can cause color matching and layout problems when it is time to print. The center functions in a workshop format to help students realize their visions from both the design and production sides of the digital printing workflow. If you require a printing service center, please address your questions to Henzlik Hall or Print Services.
