The plot lab located in Shaffer Art Building will act as a secondary location for large format and Risograph printing accessible to all student in the VPA during all hours of open access. This lab will feature an automated ink press and a HP z5400 plotter. This specific lab will stock all essential paper types for both the Risograph printer and the Hp z5400. The Shaffer lab is staffed with knowledgeable technicians during all hours of operation to ensure ease of access. This space will operate less like a service bureau and more like a collaborative space between technicians and students. All file submission should adhere to the general plot lab guidelines. Students who are looking for a more diverse selection of paper types for printing should visit the Nancy Cantor Warehouse Plot Lab for processing their work.
