Body

Enrolled students and active employees may order posters for pickup from the Schmidt Library.

Cost: 40¢ per inch of poster length*
Production time: 2 business days

Note: If you want to print anything 11x17 inches or smaller, on standard paper, follow our regular print instructions instead.

Prepare your poster file

You must submit your image as a precisely-sized PDF file.

Using an Adobe application? - click to open or close.

If you're creating your image file in an Adobe application, you should be able to export it as an appropriately sized PDF, with exact dimensions.

If you don't know how, either contact your professor or follow the 2 steps below instead.

Printing multiple posters at once? - click to open or close.

Often, you can save a significant amount of poster cost by arranging multiple images within the same PDF page.

Remember: Including any space you leave between or around the images, one of their combined dimensions cannot exceed 42 inches.

If you have any questions or don't know how to do this, contact us for help.

Using Powerpoint? - click to open or close.

Note: In the form, make sure to enter two dimensions that are exactly the same as your image (the numbers as you took note of in Step 2 ).

Pay for & pick up your poster

We'll send you an email when your poster is complete. Then, visit us at the LTS Help Desk, in the Schmidt Library, to pay and pick it up.

Note

We can only accept flex payment.
Your poster will not be trimmed, so it will likely have some white space around the image. We have a poster trimmer in the Library that you're welcome to use; if you need any help, ask us at the Help Desk.
