My Printing Room

[jtoolman]

I just recently, after much "Discussion" with my wife about why I needed to tidy "My Area" here are the results of at least my barrage of printers. Well almost all of them. Still have another R1900 which I will place on the upper left.

The crazy thing is I still have new in their boxes two more PRO 9000 MKII and one PRO 9500 MKII, the result of those great Ebay deals on Rebated Canon Pro series printers.

Today I organized all the refilling supplies in boxes which now sit right next to each corresponding printer.

She approves!

Wow!
How stable are those shelves? Don't they move when you print?

Hoowee! That is some setup, brother jtoolman. Most importantly, the wife approves.

I see you had to sacrifice the dart board, though. A small price to pay to have your printer mistresses displayed so beautifully.

The dart board was left there by my crazy son before moving out. I just never really bothered to take it down. I see him every once in a while when he needs something or $$$.

The racks are pretty sturdy through they may not look like it. No jiggling at all. You stack 4-5 printers of that size and the whole thing just weighs so much I think the mass alone keeps it steady. If your floor is uneven, that;s another story.
I was thinking about metal, shop type rack system but I already had three kits that my daughter presented me as a gist when I mentioned what I was thinking of doing.

I have all the USB cables fed through a couple of Powered USB Docks whose cable s pass through a cable port through the wall to the Imaging suite in the next room.

Can you show us the "Imaging suite" mentioned in your post ? Thanks !

Suddenly my workshop space feels inadequate and I've got considerably more printers (just not all working yet)

On the up side my wife is considerably happier that "it could be worse"...

Wow JT!

I bet the local commercial printing shop is getting worried if they read this forum

Nice set up, not just a "Man Cave" but a "Printer Cave" as well

You won't have a printer named like the one below then

"Imaging Suite" is nothing to really show off. It's jus a single PC I-core 7 machine with 8 gig Ram with just my Video and imaging software installed. I have a 24" HP monitor that is calibrated with Color Munki Photo. I own the the Adobe Master Suite CS5.5 and have nothing else installed on it. I have several HD docking stations that each hold two 2 TB drives totaling probably 12 tb of total storage. Each drives has a specific name and purpose. I also have another machine that I use to print my Instructional DVDs that I sell through a couple of companies and my site. I am using a Primera Bravo II to print the discs.
