At Poster Studio Express, we’re all about helping schools make the most out of their poster printing machines. For schools looking to print high-quality posters with minimal hassle, our dual roll and vertical trimmer features are game changers. Below, we answer some common questions about how these features work and how they can streamline your printing process with your Poster Studio Express poster maker.
How does the dual roll system work on a poster printer machine?
The dual roll system lets you load two different media rolls in your poster print machine. For example, you could load a standard paper roll and a vinyl roll at the same time. The poster printing machine will automatically switch between rolls based on your print job, saving time and hassle. This setup is perfect for busy schools that need flexibility for different types of posters, banners, and displays.
What does the vertical trimmer do, and how does it help?
The vertical trimmer on a poster maker printer cuts the poster’s edges during the printing process, giving you a clean, edge-to-edge finish. This feature eliminates the need for manual trimming, which can be time-consuming and less precise. With a poster machine maker that has a vertical trimmer, your posters come out ready to display, making it ideal for schools that need polished, professional results.
Do all poster printers have a vertical trimmer?
Not all poster printing machines include a vertical trimmer. It’s generally a feature found in advanced poster maker machines. If reducing manual cutting is important to you, check out our Studio 44 Pro poster maker with this feature.
How do I use the vertical trimmer on my poster printer?
- Load the Media: Start by loading the roll of media you want to print on. Make sure it’s aligned properly, so the vertical trimmer can cut precisely along the edges.
- Select the Vertical Trimmer Option: On the poster machine’s software or printing guide, navigate to the print settings. Select the “Vertical Trimmer” option, which activates the vertical trimmer for edge-to-edge printing.
- Preview the Print Area: Some large poster printers offer a preview mode. This lets you see where the trimmer will cut along the sides. Check this to ensure everything is aligned and nothing crucial will be cut off.
- Start Printing: Begin your print job. The poster maker machine will print and trim simultaneously, giving you a ready-to-display poster straight from the machine.
- Check the Output: Once printed, inspect the poster to ensure clean cuts. If the edges aren’t as clean as expected, double-check media alignment or adjust the trim settings for future prints.
Can the vertical trimmer handle different media types?
Yes, the vertical trimmer on most poster makers for schools is designed to work with various media types, from standard poster paper to vinyl and more. Just make sure the media you’re using is compatible with your specific poster printer machine model.
Why are these features beneficial for schools?
Dual roll and vertical trimming work on poster machines to make printing incredibly efficient. You can switch between different projects and media types seamlessly, and the automatic trimming saves teachers and staff the time of manually cutting each poster. For schools with a heavy poster workload, like creating visuals for events or classroom displays, these features are a huge time-saver.
If you are making educational posters, event banners, or other school displays, a poster maker machine can help. Look for one with dual rolls and a vertical trimmer. These features make it easier to prepare your posters quickly and with less hassle.
