Cal Poly's new lab

San Luis Obispo, CA-based Cal Poly recently dedicated a laboratory that will serve the research, testing, and product evaluation needs of the printing, packaging, imaging, and supply sectors of the graphics arts industry.

The services to industry will be coordinated through the university’s Graphic Communication Institute, with testing and research conducted by trained students under the supervision of Cal Poly professors. Testing Machines Inc., a Cal Poly “partner in education,” provided the lab with nearly $60ꯠ worth of testing and instrumentation equipment.
