Wide-Format Upgrade for Scranton Printing and Mailing Services
Assistant Director Michael Paolello and Digital Printing Operator Melissa Sherrill show off colorful prints produced by The University of Scranton Printing and Mailing Services’ new HP DesignJet Z9+.
The University of Scranton Printing and Mailing Services recently upgraded its wide-format capabilities with a new 44-inch HP DesignJet Z9⁺. Thanks to the new printer’s nine ink colors, images appear much sharper and brighter as compared to those created by the seven-year-old HP Designjet Z5400 it replaced. It’s also much faster and includes a vertical cut feature. Also, the new printer can apply a clear gloss coating to protect images exposed to the weather.
The in-plant has been using the DesignJet Z9⁺ to print directional signage mounted on foamboard, retractable banners and lots of posters, including posters on satin cloth that faculty members take to conferences.
“This summer we will be working on lots of retractable banners for Admissions: 100 small tabletop banners, 25 midsize tabletop banners, and then about 15 floor-size banners,” Director Valarie Clark said.
