The Lab offers community-wide resources for printing, scanning, technology training and academic technology usage at MassArt and is overseen by Technology.
MassArt's Riso printer offers students an opportunity to experiment with creating everything from limited-edition art prints to zines and posters.
Large format printing is available for a cost at The Lab.

The Lab supports specific program needs and requirements and interdisciplinary activities, and reflects the realities of professional work environments for artists and designers as closely as possible. Lab users can access a variety of technology resources, including software, computers, printing and output devices, scanning devices. These resources are configured and made available to support electronic design (print and Web) and prepress, animation, digital illustration, photography, video and audio, interactive multimedia, 3D modeling and rendering, and animation.
Staff members, many of whom are artists or designers, and our student lab monitors are always available to provide assistance and help minimize the difficulty of using the technology and printing.
Someone with a degree in art is trained to offer totally new perspectives on situations where others might not necessarily have that same viewpoint.Clint Baclawski '08 MFA Photography
