How to write this page (not fixed)
This is just a suggestion / feel free to edit
- Write down not only the English name of the material but also in other languages especially Dutch: A lot of times I did not even know which word I should search for. It would be super helpful for international students if we put English / Dutch / Korean / French / Thai / Spanish / etc.
- maybe there might be a better way to organize this. By material maybe?
- if there are some small tips add them to the bottom. (ex. Beamer / WDKA Rental Shop: Make sure you check a) at least 1 month ahead Especially during the exam period, you might not find the beamer. b) check regularly Sometimes students cancel at the last minute, so even if you fail to reserve the material, keep checking!)
- attach small image maybe?

Where to cut it
Tips: max. size: 550-570mm (width) and do not go over a 2m-long straight line. The plotter machine is unlike laser cut. It does not necessary plot a 90degree straight angle. For basic (Matte-white, Matte-black, and Gloss-black) vinyl foil, it's 3 euros per meter.
Tips for Using the Plotting Machine
- make sure you go back and forth so that the roll/piece of your chosen material aligns nicely
- regardless of the length of your material (vinyl) you need to -2.5 cm from each side. (in total 5cm)
- make sure you set the origin
- Also, if your chosen material is 1 meter, then chose the setting as 'the piece' not 'the roll'.
