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 roll laminator and Dahle rotary paper cutter. There is also a Brother ScanNCut 2 and large Mimaki cutter available for use. HackRVA supplies the printer ink and small amounts of vinyl inkjet sticker paper (Koala Matte) and over-laminate (Substance Icon PL-3150). Members are expected to provide their own supplies for large projects.
