Printer Setup

• When setting up the paper for the printer make sure you wear the white gloves while handling the paper.

• Then load the paper into top tray on the printer. Make sure you line up black with black and grey with gray when loading the printing paper.

• Then pull it trough the printer gently so there will be no creasing. You can stop feeding it trough once the paper lines up with marker at the bottom of the printer.

• After that is said and done make sure the Cut paper option is on then you are ready to start printing. (that is the button with the scissor under it)

Computer Setup

• If the computer is already logged in log out then log into the print account. (If you are trained in the large format printer the password will be provided to you.)
• Once you log in start up the Color-Burst Program. This allows us to connect to the large format printer. Also note that the Rip setting should be off at this point.
• Once you set up your file (a Tiff from Photoshop or a PSD from Illustrator) you can drag it in to the waiting screen to be set up for printing.

1. Why PSD from Illustrator? Because it will preserves the smoothness of the curves on top of getting it into the program as a small files size so it will print better & faster.
2. Why tiff from Photoshop? Because it will compress the file without losing data as well as the printing will go faster & better.
