Service Description

Size
-
One side of the poster (length or width) cannot exceed 42 inches. This is a limit set by the size of paper used to print the poster.
-
The document size in the page setup menu of your application should be the same as the final size of the poster.
Cost & Printing
-
Poster printing charges are based on the size of the poster and ink coverage.
-
Cost ranges from $0.50 to $0.80 per printed inch of the larger dimension.
-
Pay for printing charges through pre-approved DEPT Cost Center or BearBucks only.
Design Tips
- Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create the poster
-
Set the proper dimensions in page setup before creating the poster. PowerPoint restricts page size to a maximum of 56 inches.
-
Avoid using backgrounds. The color of the background on the screen rarely matches the color of the background on the printed poster. If a background is necessary, avoid custom colors and instead use colors from the standard tab of the More Colors dialog box.
-
Export the slide(s) as a PDF for printing.
Service Request
To print a poster, create a PDF file and fill out the McKelvey Poster Printing Request form.
