Within the print hub, we have a wide range of analogue and digital printers for you to use at varying prices
You will now have the option to use a new digital print service using the latest’s kiosk and print technology from Epson, the sure colour D3000 and D700 print labs. This new service will provide a speedy way to print imagery on demand, giving you the option to print from a range of sizes from 6x4’’ up to 12x18’’.
Using a Kiosk interface, you will be able to collate orders from various media devices, such as memory sticks, hard drives and even mobile phones.
All imagery is printed on a standard Lustre 180gsm photo finish paper, and are offered in the following paper sizes (in inches):
Files must be supplied in 300dpi JPEG format (baseline: standard, highest quality) using the Adobe RGB 1998 colour space.
These are both high quality roll feed inkjet printers capable of very large prints. Both our printers have different widths and paper options (see below) and are all priced by the amount on material used. You can find paper samples and prices in the Digital Print Hub.
Files for these printers should be supplied correctly sized at 300dpi in either JPEG, TIFF or PDF formats. The printers achieve the best colour range using the Adobe RGB 1998 colour space and uses industry standard Fuji Hunt RIP Software to manage workflow. This makes it possible to increase image size without loss of quality. The technical staff can advise you further in this process.

We offer various types of finishing; the most popular is 5mm white foam board which is very lightweight. The other option is a 2.5m Tac board. Both types of board are coated with an adhesive mount film on one side, therefore you do not need to use spray mount or tape, giving a professional finish to your art work.
We do not accept hard drives or Memory sticks when receiving student data. Please use our preferred method, which is to use our print server, which can be accessed by all computers in Scott and Roland Levinsky Buildings. For more details, please liaise with a technical member of the Digital Print Hub team.
The print server provides a temporary holding location on the University network for files awaiting printing. Complete instructions on how to use the print server are available in the Print Hub. Inductions on this process are also run throughout the year.
