Large Format Color Printer
Carolyn Bielski and Debra Zare, Art teachers, first saw the Epson 7800 printer when they were visiting the University of Illinois in the Fall of 2007. They were there to research the University’s Art Department to find out how they could better prepare their Art students for a rigorous college art curriculum. In the University’s Graphic Design lab, they saw the Epson 7800 printer. Both teachers admired how the printer produced professional quality prints.
Mrs. Bielski immediately thought of its applicability at the LFHS.
“As graphic designers, students are in a unique position to be able to effect change in our school and community through the visual communications pieces they create.”
Students have created numerous poster campaigns for a variety of school and community organizations -- creating the posters, crafting the messages, generating the graphics and making copies.
“The prints are unbelievable. Since the printer uses seven ink cartridges, the range of tones, saturated colors and density it can produce rivals large-scale presses (Heidelberg, Kamori). The students are honored to be able to use such advanced equipment.”
