  • At the time of the orientation individuals must be prepared to address their technical proficiency and competence in their chosen print medium as well as go through their planned use of the Printshop equipment and facilities.
  • During the orientation the Printshop & Programs Coordinator will grant rental access based on the applicant’s skills and experience.* Renters will fall under two access categories, Limited Access and Unlimited Access.
