Laser Ready + Paper
After the previous day’s so-called “completion” of my diorama, I had to get it ready to print in the laser printer. This meant that I had to make a copy of my finished draft and add on all of the requirements: deleting fill coloring or the laser will mistake it for border lines and will burn up the entire paper, adding borders that are 0.001pt and true red, and finally making sure that there are no overlapping borders that will ruin the entire cut (this was the most frustrating part since some of the layer’s overlapping borders were essential to the entire structure, so if they were deleted then most of the layer would go with it. This ended up in some changes to the final bit, but nothing a little scissor can’t fix!). After several anger-filled hours it was finally completed, and everything now was ready to print. However, we first had to go buy our colored paper at a Texas Art Supply. I had some trouble finding what I needed since there was only one shade of brownish red, but that just meant some things were going to be a different color. When everything was bought and we went back, we started printing. However, there is only one printer, so in the end only two people got to print.
Here the difference between the completed version and the printer-ready version is very apparent.
