Patrons wanting to use the large format printer or vinyl cutter must show a SandDollar card or a valid ID. They also need to complete a safety orientation session. This session covers the basic operation of the printer and cutter, tools and techniques for creating artwork files, safety practices, and I-Create printer and vinyl cutter policies. Patrons must be at least 18 years old. They are required to sign an I-Create Waiver form. When ready to print, patrons should speak with an I-Create staff member for assistance with the printer.
