Description
This is a 24" or roughly A1 paper sized printer / plotter. It is full colour with full Pantone Calibration facility. It is great for printing out designs, or artwork as it is capable of high resolution so is great for things like jigsaw prints to then stick to a piece of board and laser cut, or if your wood working - print put your design 1 for 1 sized, and stick the paper to your chunk of wood and cut around it.
The printer is located in the small machine room, opposite the laser cutter.
We have a small stock of paper, in A1, A2, and A3 size, located in the yellow shelf's underneath, usually 3rd one down. Please leave the top sheet of A1 and use the sheets underneath, so the top one can catch all the dust :)
To use the printer, you need a laptop with a USB port. Just switch it on, and plug the grey usb cable kept curled up behind it. Windows will generally detect it and install the right print driver, but if not - the full drivers are available from the link below.
