General Printing Information

There is no charge to those at IGPP for the use of the more than 20 in-house printers.

For the large format plotters, there is currently a $20 fee per poster regardless of paper used.  This printer is provided as a service and is funded by IGPP NetOps charges as well as printing fees. For this reason printing is prohibited to those outside of IGPP to the in-house printer.

For those outside of IGPP requiring printing to large format plotters Visit Imprint https://blink.ucsd.edu/facilities/imprints/index.html for more info.

Plotter Printers

The IGPP Helpdesk currently provides two plotter printers named goya and scott for printing posters.

     




Fees

Print jobs cost $20 regardless of paper used. This fee helps pay for the ink, printheads, maintenance and paper.

Glossy and matte paper are readily available and is included in the printing fee. These jobs can be paid through your recharge number. When printing a poster, leave your name, recharge number and other information on the clipboard next to the printer.


Note: SDSU students should use "SDSU" for the recharge number. 


Paper

Glossy and matte paper are provided by the Helpdesk and is included in the printing fee. Paper is 42" x 100" or 42" x 150." 

If you would like to print using your glossy paper, please contact the IGPP Helpdesk so we can change the printer paper to glossy and then back to matte once your job has finished.

For Scott, this plotter will be preloaded with 2 semi-gloss rolls of 36" paper. If you wish to print using the larger 42" paper, please send your plots to Goya at this time. 

The 2 roles installed are to prevent downtime when one role runs out of paper. When the plotter detects that the role is complete mid-plot, the plotter will automatically feed the second roll and reprint your plot. PLEASE DO NOT attempt to change the paper rolls or resend your plot to Scott! This will result in back-logging the print queue and will waste supplies. 

Drivers

All managed machines have all IGPP printers and plotters drives pre-installed and ready to use. For self-managed machines, you can find the drivers for your system linked here. Be sure to install the PostScript 3 Driver and choose the operating system that you are running because the drivers are OS-specific.
