The Print shop is divided into three separate rooms, the largest being the print studio, which holds all the presses and is equipped with a Dahle 585 Guillotine, 43” Paper Cutter, a Peck, Stow & Wilcox Foot Squaring Shear, and standard 36” X 40” flat files. The room is equipped with wall-base air vent units and fume extractors. The room also has an overhead projector with speakers, a screen, and internet connectivity. The screen-print area is entirely water-based, and the darkroom facilities have an exposure unit. The lithography and intaglio areas share a flip-top NuArc exposure unit for photo processes. The shop is supported by a computer lab adjacent to the room and the Digital Print Center for film output using large format Epson printers.
