The following printers are available to all School of Architecture students. Paper thickness is expressed in mil; the higher the value, the thicker the paper. Paper weight is expressed in "grams per square meter" or gsm. The heavier the paper, the higher the perceived quality of the stock.
Users are required to first install the PaperCut client before they are able to use SoA printers.
