The Wriston digital lab is in the lower level of the Wriston Art Center, in the near West portion of the building. Your LU ID will buzz you into the building and the room. Currently only one student can occupy the lab at a time. There is a sign-up sheet on the door if you wish to reserve time, and an 'un/occupied' sign on the doorknob. Only the back computer is hooked-up to the printer. Open your image in photoshop. If you set the screen brightness to 3 suns it will give you a good idea of what it may look like printed...most images need to be brightened up a bit. Check that the printer is powered-up. Insert an 8.5 by 11 sheet of the luster photo paper into the printer vertically with the shiny-ish side up, to the far right part of the paper slot. Make sure the printer dialog is set to 'professional'. Use this video to help navigate the printer dialog;
Most of these settings will not need to be changed. It is important to size your image so it is nicely placed on the sheet, as when we frame the 11x14s the amount of border, or bleed-off, is critical to the look of the framed image.
