Through funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Maritime Data Centre was able to purchase a wide format color printer and laminator. The printer is located at the MDC (Evaristus Room 360) while the laminator is housed at the Print Shop in Seton. Our printing services are available, at reduced rates, to all MSVU faculty and students.
