Printing on Your Own Media

You can print on your own paper through MSD 2 only.

To avoid damaging your paper and our printers, please approach our staffs if unsure.

Please bring extra pieces of paper for testing or incase of error prints as we don't guarantee all paper stocks will print perfectly the first time.

Paper Stock Requirements

Example of Acceptable Paper stocks

• Coated Bond (Matte)

• Gloss

• Silk

• Parchment

• NeverTear

Stocks with various textures such as canvas, glitter, metallic are incompatible with the printer and are NOT to be loaded in the multi-purpose tray. Any media that contains fibers that easily are removable and can damage the printer (i.e. glitter) are not to be printed onto.

Staff at ABP Media Hub will load your paper into the output tray (MSD 2) and then proceed to the ABP computers to set up the specifications

Please note the MSD2 Printers are Canon Multi-Function Devices. They are Laser printers in which paper should be bought accordingly.

Information regarding printer compatibility needs to be clearly visible when speaking with Media Hub staff so that it is safe to be loaded into the Multi-Purpose Tray.

We stress the importance of laser compatible paper, any other paper stock will melt in the printer causing major damage. Printing may be rejected if not within acceptable criteria.
