Designjet

Retired

The Designjet stopped working in 2018. It was determined that it was not economical to fix and purchase new ink, so it was retired.

Tricks

• For some reason, the roll drags on the shelf and causes jams. This is fixed with some plywood risers under the feet.
• Feeding the edge of paper from a new roll into the printer is very tough and requires training.
• The cutter is currently dull, please disable the automatic cutter when printing.
• Set a custom paper size that is 24" wide and as high as the document I want to print is.
