Production Lab

The CCS Production Lab is located in the basement of the Colodny building. Facilities for scanning, digital clean-up, printing, cutting, binding, and screen-printing, as well as open workspace, are all available for student use at any time.

Paper Weights

Have you ever wondered what the difference between 110 lb index and 65 lb cover is? If so, I recommend you take a few minutes to read though the information on this paper suppliers website, http://www.paper-paper.com/weight.html. The mysteries of points, index, pounds and grams per square meter are explained in plain english. There’s even a chart for the more visually inclined.

PaperCut

Recently, CCS changed the system that we use to manage student access to the copiers. The highlight of the new system is that funds can be added to your PaperCut account 24 hours a day using the PaperCut gateway that is accessible from each of the lab computers. Debit and Credit cards are accepted.

You can still use a check or cash to add funds to your account as well. Just fill out a copy order sheet and submit it to Dave, Luke, or Jarad. Order sheets are posted in the lab by the copiers. Plan ahead– submitted orders will be processed by the next business day.

Tutoring / Questions or Troubleshooting

Short questions, or quick troubleshooting help, can be provided on an as needed basis by Jarad, Luke or (even) Dave (sometimes) during their normal office hours. Longer or more specific tutoring sessions can be scheduled with Luke, howard@cartoonstudies.org.
