CMYK vs RGB: What color space should I work in?
The short answer
All of the color printing services offered at MCAD are digitally-based, whether they use ink or toner. For most purposes, and most users, working in RGB should produce the best results.
Web Print
Web Print is a feature in PaperCut that we are evaluating that will allow a user to print from any device via a web browser. This means you don't have to worry about having your computer set up with your official MCAD short username (i.e., "gforman") or be running the PC Client app.
Vinyl and Paper Cutting
You can have your designs or type cut out of paper or adhesive-backed vinyl. Paper cutting is $3 per linear foot (not including the cost of any prints) and Vinyl cutting is $5 per linear foot.
