Our IT department purchased an HP DESIGNJET Z9DR 44-IN PS PTR V-Trimme printer in Fall 2022 and it has already exceeded expectations. Over 15 outsized high quality prints have been used around the school. They have included a 44″ wide IB ATL poster, SJS JAM Basketball banners and flow charts, Fringe Festival Banners and student-created classroom projects. The printer will be used for the upcoming Grandparents Day photo booth backdrops and stage props for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The printer uses a large spectrum of colour cartridges to provide accurate colour tones as well as gloss enhancers and chromatic ink cartridges. It can print on a wide variety of media, from paper to canvas, vellum and wallpaper.
In relation to the Fringe Festival, we were able to create bespoke posters to fit our Atrium Theatre doors (37 inch wide x 97 inches high) – to have the in-house capability to generate materials of this size, removing the need for an external vendor opens up possibilities and adds efficiency.
