Wide Format Paper Options
The Service Bureau can accept customer-supplied rolls or large sheets (20×30″ or larger) to be printed on our Epson P9000 Wide Format Inkjet prints as long as:
- All paper must be for made specifically for these printers: inkjet (aqueous ink)
- If printing on sheets sufficient margin/borders must be present for the printer to hold the paper: at least 6″ on trailing edge and 2″ on all others.
- Before users submit using the Digital Storefront we ask that you send us an email an include any important information about the paper that you plan to print on. If accepted, we will ask that you drop off your paper in our Remote Cabinet or at the Service Bureau in room 1111.
- When submitting your order, choose ‘Customer Supplied’ as the ‘Media’.
- All paper must be brought into the Service Bureau in its original packaging with the weight and g/m2 clearly marked. If the original packaging is not supplied, the Service Bureau will not print using the supplied media.
The Epson P9000 printer can accept rolls up to 44″. Cut sheets can be accepted if they are larger than 20×30″. The large size of our printers makes it difficult to print the image without skewing it on the paper. The Service Bureau reserves the right to deny submitted paper types at any time. Bringing in your own media to use on the Wide Format printers will result in longer turnaround times due to the special handling and testing required.
Turnaround Times & Proofing
- Bringing in your own media to use on the Wide Format printers will result in longer turnaround times due to the special handling and testing required. During midterms and finals, turnaround times may increase.
- If you are running a large job and want to see a proof copy, turn in a print submission for only one or two of your files or submit for a test strip.
- This will be completed within 48 hours. Once you are satisfied and “approve” your print, you may then turn in the final order for the full amount of copies that you want.
- A test strip is highly recommended because it allows you to see exactly what the final print will look like.
