Printing Guidelines
Please read and follow these guidelines carefully…
Printing for academic projects and research is generally free for standard sizes. Printing for non-academic purposes can also be accommodated, following the guidelines below, at a cost of $30 for standard size posters. For larger posters (up to 6 ft.), additional charges will apply.
Standard printed poster sizes are 48” x 36” (Landscape) or 36” x 48” (Portrait). Printing requests larger than 48" x 36" will incur additional charges. The maximum short-edge length is 36".
Prepare your poster as a single PowerPoint slide with the page setup as 36" x 48"
Backgrounds and significantly large areas of solid color or grayscale are not permitted.
If photo graphics are used, utilize JPEG images instead of BMP. This will keep your poster size small and will print faster. The image quality does not suffer. PowerPoint images must be either JPEG or GIF format.
Account for 1 inch margin on all sides of your poster.
The ideal poster file size is under 5 MB
Make sure you put your username at the beginning of your poster-file name.
Print your slide out on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and proof read it carefully before submitting it for printing (in Print, you can "scale to fit the paper"). You may find layout issues, typos, etc. in printing that you don't see on the screen.
Submit your file for printing via the online submission form. Allow as much lead time as possible, posters are printed on a first-come, first-served basis.
If, due to any reason, we are not able to print the file you submit, we will contact you as quickly as possible to let you know.
ITS strongly advises you to print out a proofing copy of your poster at 8.5" x 11" before submitting the file to us. This will usually identify problems to you before a large-format print error occurs.
Re-prints due to errors in your layout, text, or for multiple group members, etc., are not allowed. Additional copies of your poster are $30 each--payable by departmental requisition or cash (exact change). Reprints of non-standard posters will incur additional charges.
We are not a full-service professional print shop. If you require very large (long) posters, professional imaging, color separation or poster printing from other applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.), you may be better served by Curry Printing or an off-site vendor. We reserve the right to refuse requests that do not follow the guidelines above.
