Plotting at Wells Library
In order to print from the plotter using the money from a grant account, you’ll first need to go to the Support Center in the library with the number of the grant account and a general idea of how much it will cost (see pricing sheet below), and the Support Center will transfer funds from the grant account to the personal account of whoever is sent over to print. This is necessary because the user will be logging into the computer with their personal account rather than with the credentials of the grant account, therefore the print will be released from their personal account rather than the grant account making it necessary to transfer the funds as there is no way to release the job from the grant account.
After transferring the funds at the Support Center, you can go up to the fourth floor where one of our consultants can assist you in getting the posters set up, if necessary, and assist with releasing the print job.
