Submitting a Plot

              1.  Open HP SmartStream by clicking the Windows icon in the bottom left corner of your screen and searching for "HP"

                                       

2.  On the left-hand, select which plotter you want to print to based on the paper type you would like.  

  • SYDNEY Z6 Plotter

          Roll1: 44" Watercolor Paper

          Roll2: 60" Satin Photo Paper

  • Su Z6 Plotter

         Roll1: 60" Standard Bond Paper

         Roll2: 60" Plain Paper
