The spirit of our Poster Printing Service is in support of individual, academic projects, and pursuits for students, faculty, and staff. Typical usage includes posters for symposiums, conferences, and some limited University signage. Posters can be printed on matte or glossy paper. Our poster printers can accommodate sizes up to 42 inches in one dimension (due to size limit of the rolls). All submissions are reviewed to ensure proper scaling, copyright considerations, and best identify any risks of missing fonts or pixelated images. Once printed, they will be stored in a plastic sleeve for ease of pickup and transport. We do not offer or sell poster tubes.

We guarantee a 3-day turn around for printing provided no errors or issues are identified during our review phase. In some instances we may process more promptly due to fewer submissions in queue or less in-person support needs for all services we provide, however we strongly encourage you to plan and anticipate a 3-day turnaround.
