Print and Cut

The print & cut station is setup with Affinity suite, Inkscape, Gimp, and Adobe Acrobat. There is an Epson 6 color inkjet wide format printer and 24” Siser vinyl cutter set up with a cold press laminator and Dahle rotary paper cutter. There is also a Brother Scan-N-Cut and large Mimaki cutter available for use. HackRVA supplies the printer ink and small amounts of vinyl sticker paper and over-laminate. Members are expected to provide their own supplies for large projects.
