Policy

Two large format printers are located on on the third floor of Wiggins Memorial Library in the CMMC. Poster printing is for the use of students, faculty and staff for academic purposes. Academic purpose is defined to include:

  • Education posters, i.e. classroom rules, instructional graphs, supplemental lesson materials, etc.
  • Conference poster presentation
  • Research posters
  • Marketing for university or departmental events

Review the Poster Research Guide for helpful tips on how to effectively design a research poster.

Posters can be printed up to 36" wide; the length may vary. Poster printing requests will be fulfilled within five days this summer (5 full business days). If your department needs posters printed for a symposium or other event, please contact the CMMC staff to make arrangements for such a high volume print request.

  4. Library staff will not provide design assistance or proofreading. Please make sure your document is ready to print before you arrive or email it.
