-
If your research group has a poster template that they use, email a
copy of the Illustrator file to
the G.R.I.D. lab manager
so we can post it here to help others.
- Sending a Plot
-
-
Plots must be sent and released from computers in the G.R.I.D. lab.
-
Select "Print" in your application and choose the plotter name (escher or ptolemy).
-
Go to the
release form
and look for your job. They can sometimes take a minute or so to
appear. Each job is stamped with the computer name that it was sent
from and the time it was sent.
-
Fill in the P-T-A information for the account that will pay the plotter
charges. Also fill in your advisor, the plot size, and the purpose. Click
on the
"Release"
button when done.
-
Check the front panel of the plotter to make sure the plot is being
received.
-
You will be charged for all plots released. Email
the G.R.I.D. lab manager
if you released a plot and nothing came out or it was incomplete, so the
charge can be adjusted.
Provide the date and time that the plot was submitted, the name of the
computer that you used, the intended size, and the amount actually printed.
- Other Plotting facilities
-
If the plotters are busy or you don't want to deal with plotting
something yourself, there are plotters also located in Branner Library,
Visual Arts (in the Medical Center), Meyer Library, and Kinko's.
Of course, these will be more expensive.
