• Remember to appropriately size images and select the appropriate resolution when creating you documents to be printed. This will give you the file size appropriate for the output thus reducing printing and plotting time.
• Please be patient with plotting and printing during the semester.
• Please monitor you submissions to the plotters – if they jam promptly delete, resize submission and resubmit. Do not leave things “overnight”. Each studio has one student to delete a job in the queue but this student may not be available.
• Please help keep the print room clean.
• Report any hardware or software problems to the IT staff via email and cc your studio faculty professor.
