About

The Plotting service at the Technology Lab is available to current students, faculty, and staff in the School of Architecture community. The Technology Lab has four plotters: two KIP 970 laser plotters named Doug and Marjan, and two HP Z6 ink plotters named Su and Sydney. Details about the paper types and dimensions are listed below along with directions on how to plot.

Plot cost is calculated by the linear foot. For example, plotting a 24" x 36" file on the 36" KIP will result in 24" linear inches being plotted. The student would be charged for 2 linear feet of paper plus the coverage of ink/toner. We provide estimates below for the minimum, average, and maximum ink/toner coverage per linear foot on each plotter and paper type on our Plotting Costs & Estimates page and examples on our Plotting Cost Examples page.
