Graphic Design Ink Inventory

The 2nd floor graphic design is checked weekly. New shipments come in Tuesdays. A count of what is new needs to be taken EVERY TUESDAY and then a count of what is old is counted as well. All ink is stored in the 224 closet.
Download the GD INK INVENTORY and print out the form. Fill out the form with the new count and hand it to Bill Rees when completed. He is in charge of all the ink ordering.
If you need to change the 2nd floor ink, make sure to place the used ink cartridge in the correct box. Each different ink has its own used box in the closet in the workstudy office.

 

Plotting and Printing Responsibilities

Make sure to log all plots and prints in the Blue Binder located in the work study office. A daily morning count should always be taken and the last one to leave should make a count, as well.
Plotters are located on the 3rd and 5th floors and are mostly used by interior design students. The 5th floor plotters should only be used by interior graduate students and are managed by Graduate Assistants.
Plotting ink is stored in the work study office along with plotter heads.

8 1/2 x 11 and 11 x 17 size paper is located on the 5th floor in the 514 closet. All labs should have at least 1 package of each paper size in them AT ALL TIMES. There is also a storage area located in the work study office that can be filled with paper to make it more convenient
