Plotting Tips
General notes on printing costs & refunds
• CED has a photo-‐quality plotter (in 477) and two photo-‐quality ink jets (214) for higher quality outputs• Printing and plotting costs include the cost of paper which we supply• EXCEPT the Epson printers: you must supply your own paper• No refund for bad prints on paper that CED did not supply • No refunds if using Bristol and Newsprint
• CED does refunds print errors which are mechanical • No refunds for user errors (specified on the Web, on posters and in the HelpDesk system)
• Printing costs are posted• On the CED web site, on posters, and visible from your PaperCut account
PLOTTING – COLOR ISSUES
• For many reasons, it is difficult to impossible to make your plotted output match the colors you see on the screen
• Monitors and scanners are based on an "additive" color system, using the RGB (red, green, blue) color space, while the plotters are based on a "subtractive" system and use CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black)
• Different monitors can vary in many ways, including calibration, variances in the phosphors and bit depths. Also the range of colors is widely different, with monitors displaying many more colors than any printing device.
• Remember colors will look different on different types of paper• If precise color rendition is important
• Consider doing a small test print• Print on the Epson color photo inkjet in 214• Or the color photo color plotter in 477
