Large Format Printing Made Easy!

Large format printers are used by professional printing companies to create prints sized for wall art down to desktop photo frames. These prints can be posters, technical drawings or photos.

This workshop will teach you how to use the 44” printer with either supplied or your own paper to create stunning images. Prerequisite knowledge required is basic computer skills – you do not need to be a photographer.

After attending this workshop you will understand:

• Basic operation of the Z6DR printer including use of the operator panel

• How to load roll and sheet paper

• Use of HP Click to send your images to the printer

• Sizing the print

• Including borders

• Trimming the finished print to size

• Basic Colour Systems  including an introduction to ICC Profiles and their importance
