Those members attending Zoom meeting may remember Colin gave us Part 1 of this presentation via Zoom.   For Part 2 Colin with others from Permajet will visit the club (from Statford Upon Avon) bringing along printers and a variety of papers to demonstrate.   Members will be invited to bring along images on a USB stick and Colin will print the images and explain which is the appropriate paper and the difference this can make.

For information Colin runs the Permajet Print School in Stratford Upon Avon.

There will also be Permajet papers on sale at a discount...

Members are asked to bring along some of their prints for critique.  The Critique will focus on printing quality and how they could be improved.  This will give opportunity to review what we learnt from the Permajet Demonstration the previous week.   Further details to follow.
