About the Flat Lab
The Flat Lab is located on the second floor next to computer lab 240. Its primary focus is risograph printing and small format digital printing. The Flat Lab provides materials and technology to assist students working in print based media. Students are required to take an orientation before they can access the lab. Once students have completed an orientation they can reserve time to print on one of three risograph printers, the vinyl cutter, or a Xerox color phaser. Students must come prepared to print with their own paper - paper sizes up 11x17 are supported by Flat Lab devices. Also available to students is a Kyocera color copier. Various tools and materials for cutting, binding, and folding print media are available for us e in the Flat Lab.
