Archival-quality, large-format printers.
Designed for professional proofing and photographic applications, the Epson Professional printers incorporate the latest imaging technologies to produce extraordinary prints in a wide range of materials.
Featured Equipment
VPI Vertical Print Inspector
The Vertical Print Inspector is a D50 viewing station that is designed for the visual inspection of large format prints in a convenient vertical and horizontal format. When using the VPI students can stand at a comfortable distance and visually compare the entire image with a color monitor, transparency or reference print. The color viewing station is illuminated from above and below with Graphiclite 100 Color Viewing Lamp compliant with the ISO 3664:2009 standard. The Vertical Print Inspector becomes the preferred display for classroom critiques.
Print Output Room
Our Print Output Room is both in-house BFA print service store and classroom. Students experiment with digital printing in various size formats, medias in sheet and roll paper up to 44” in width. Our staff works with the student body to ensure color print quality by soft proofing their images as done in professional print studios.
This hand-on approach of the Print Room becomes an opportunity for all BFA students to learn the color management process in digital printing.
