Printers

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains two desktop printers for all our members to use (Level 1).

Our newest printer, a DTF (Direct to Film - heat transfer) printer, is a Level 2 piece of equipment.

Additional PPM training is required to use any of our Level 2 equipment.

Members are also welcome to bring in their own computers and use our high-speed Internet connection.
