Wide Format Print Facilities
The Centre’s wide format digital print facility has been developed as an extension of the traditional printmaking studio for artists. By maintining previous definitions of the traditional print studio such as working outside of industrial print parameters and instigating diverse collaborative print projects the digital print studio adheres to its past while embracing future technologies.
The centre’s sympathetic approach toward facilitating the artists’ creative potential has meant the studio is adaptable to mixed media and hybrid print possibilities. The integration of the centre’s resources has allowed artists to combine print process such as laser cutting, screen printing and enameling with the inkjet medium. By adopting traditional print practices within an essentially digital environment the centre looks to offer artists a broad view of how digital technologies can be utilized across previous and developing printmaking fields.
