This is the 36-inch-wide dual-roll large-format inkjet printer between the SparkleForge and the Sewing station.

As of 2019-04-05, it has been loaded with fresh ink supplies and is usable.

Ink for this printer is very expensive, so please do drop some cash in a nearby cash box if you print something on this printer. If you forgot to or didn't have cash, you can donate electronically.

Using this printer

The printer can be reached via USB or hard Ethernet (no Wi-Fi). BYO cable.

On USB, the printer requires a driver. It may work (untested) with a generic HPGL driver.

On Ethernet, you can upload files to the printer and it'll print them without requiring a driver. (But you need a computer or device that speaks Ethernet, and a web browser that can talk to the printer and upload files. FTP might also work but is undocumented outside of a couple of passing mentions.)

Ethernet may require a crossover cable or a router. Connecting directly with a straight-through cable does not seem to work. (It's also not yet clear whether the IP settings are correct.)

Queue of known current or impending resupply needs

  • Roll paper (36-inch): The roll is exhausted and there's a foot or two of loose paper left in the machine.
  • Photo black: Currently the lowest cartridge. We have a replacement on hand.
