What can I print on the large format printer?

You may print a single copy of anything for curricular use. Wall decor, personal posters, posters for social events etc. should all be taken to Print Services.

How do I print a large format poster?

You must first save your file as a pdf. The refer to the instruction sheets on the front desk, or follow this link for online instructions.

Can I pay to print out a poster, or can you charge my department for printer use? How much?

There is no charge for printing in the Creative Media Commons, but all prints must be for a curricular purpose. Multiple copies are not allowed in the Creative Media Commons. Print Services can help with non-curricular flyers and posters (event advertisements, decor, personal projects). There is a charge.

Do you have a paper cutter?

Yes, it’s usually stored on the table in the main room. The big Epson printer has its own cutter for the sheets it prints.
