Paper and Printing

This week I had a student tell us that she needed a poster printed. Upon further discussion with her, I soon realized that she was asking for a specific paper size and weight that we do not carry. This student said she was in a Art of Social Change class and was looking for A3 Matte paper.
A3 Matte paper is 11x17in pre-cut sturdy weight paper, a specification that is commonly required in art courses here at UD. It requires a special type of printer that we do not have here at the SMDC.

If you should come across a student looking for these specific requirements, be sure to send them to the Mac Lab on the 2nd floor of Recitation Hall. The staff there will be able to assist them.

Many non-art students taking an art course for the first time may not be aware of the complicated aspects of printing, so it's good to know how to best assist these students.
