Printing Policies & FAQ

From Swarthmore Knowledge Base

What can I print on the large format printer?

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

Can I pay you 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, however there are conditions for using either of our printers. Is the project you wish to print for academic use? If so, we’re happy to help. Multiple copies are not allowed in the Creative Media Commons.  Print Services can help with non-academic flyers and posters (event advertisements, decor, personal projects). There is a charge.

How do I print from InDesign? Acrobat? Power Point?

Please refer to the instruction sheets on the front desk.

Do you have a paper cutter?

Yes, it’s usually stored under the TV in the main room. Note that the blade for the big cutter must be on the outside of the metal edge... there is no "channel"  - if you find it positioned between the cutting edge and the black surface, using it like that will damage the blade.  Please let one of our staff know so we can fix it.

The big Epson printer has its own cutter for the sheets it prints.
