TRIG only, until values are settled. We'll begin sorting out the price-related plotting pages here. Courtney is deleting info as it's relocated.
Samples of paper type and print quality are on display near the Technology Desk and are available for reference below.
Pricing is based on the linear feet of paper used, and the amount of ink/toner used. These values can only be estimated in advance, as the plotters use a live monitoring system to measure exactly how much toner or ink is used on each print job. Since the 'tooth' of the paper can vary from print to print, so can the amount of toner or ink used, even if they are plotting the same file. We provide the minimum, average, and maximum cost per linear foot (LF) for each paper type so that students can estimate the cost of their plots.
