Poster Printer Claimed
by Leo Papa 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

We received several inquiries about the printer, literally within minutes of each other. We have agreed to give it to the Novi Public Library, which was the first to commit to picking it up. Thanks for your interest. Leo Papa From: everyone-request(a)lists.tln.lib.mi.us [mailto:everyone-request@lists.tln.lib.mi.us] On Behalf Of Leo Papa Sent: Saturday, February 01, 2014 2:39 PM To: TLN (everyone(a)lists.tln.lib.mi.us) Cc: MichLib-L (michlib-l(a)lists.mcls.org) Subject: [Everyone] Poster Printer Available The Canton Public Library is replacing a 42" wide DesignJet 800 poster printer, which we would be happy to give to another library along with a set of new print cartridges (see attached). Although this model has been discontinued, over the past couple of years we have been able to order supplies and make minor repairs to keep it operational. While the printer is in working condition we cannot speculate about how long it will remain so without additional maintenance. Please contact me if you are interested in picking up the printer.
