Large Format Printer File Preparation

The printer can print up to 36 inches. Your file must fit within that width.
For example, if you have a print size that is 72″ x 24″, that is an acceptable print size. However, if you have a file that is 48″ x 40″, that is not acceptable.

Currently we have two types of paper rolls available:*

  • 20# 36″ White Paper (similar to plain photo copy paper) 
  • Premium Luster Photo Paper 

Students are limited to 96 inches (8 feet) in total length per print requests.

*If the paper types or length limits are not desired, you are welcomed to bring your own sheets or rolls to print on the machine, as long as they fit to the printer.

Preferred file type is a Photoshop (PSD) or Illustrator (AI) files.

Acceptable file formats as follows: JPEG (or JPG), PNG, GIF, TIFF, PSD ,PDF, EPS, AI, INDD, RAW.
