Who Can Receive Posters
Posters are available at no charge to current UTCS students, faculty and staff for department-related work, such as conference presentations and talks. We regret we cannot service other departments or visitors. Posters cannot be produced for personal use.
How to Order a Poster
- The publications request form must be submitted to start your job. No walk-in traffic is accepted.
- Include:
- Why do you need the poster?
- When do you need it?
- What is the finished size? (20" x 30" or 30" x 40")?
- Do you want it mounted on foamcore? (only 30"x40" or 20"x30" sizes available)
- Do you want glossy or uncoated paper?
- What is the percentage of enlargement? If the artwork is not the same
ratio of width to height as the board (3x4 or 2x3), then what is the percent
of enlargement of the smallest side?
- What is the URL of PDF file to be printed?
- Please include contact phone numbers on your form so that we can find you immediately if a problem arises when printing your file.
- Minimum two business day lead time is required to print posters. Various technical or supply difficulties or competing deadlines may prohibit pubs from accommodating last minute requests and there are no guarantees that a last minute job can be accommodated.
