On hand each day in the printshop is a technician and demonstrator to help with support using any of the computers, their hardware and their software.
If you can't remember how to save in Adobe Photoshop or your mouse is refusing to move the support is there.
The printshop is situated right next to the computer gym enabling students to proof A3 colour prints for free and buy A1 prints for as little as £4 from within the department.
