Here are photos of the new wide-format HP DesignJet T790  printer that 
has just arrived at the NWHS Archives on Salem  Avenue.

The  old KIP Starprint 200 laser printer we have used for over 10 
years had  become increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain. 
The lack of an  operating printer at the Archives meant that orders 
for drawings had to be  sent out to a local print shop. This lead to 
5-10 week lead times to fill  orders and contributed to a number of 
errors in filling  orders.

This new printer is capable of printing drawings and other  documents 
up to 42" wide and almost unlimited length. Unlike its  predecessor, 
this printer can print in color. The printer is accessible  from any 
workstation at the Archives.

Our Archives volunteers can  now scan and print orders for drawings at 
one time instead of waiting for  jobs to come back from the print 
shop. This will greatly reduce the time  to fill drawing orders and 
the potential for errors. Visitors to the  Archives can have their 
copies made during their visit instead of waiting  for it to be 
shipped to them weeks later.

A big THANK YOU goes to  all those members who contributed to our 
latest capital campaign and made  this acquisition possible.

Ron  Davis
