The CECH Library has a large-format poster printer for your use, located in the Media Production Lab (Room 325):

CECH Library Specifications and Process:

In order for a poster to print correctly, follow these specifications and guidelines:

1. Files must be created in PowerPoint.
2. Always set your PowerPoint page size before designing the poster. We currently have three templates for printing posters:  18" x 24", 24" x 36", and 36" x 48".  For example, if the poster will be 36" x 48," enter the dimensions 36" x 48." The largest size poster we can print is 36" x 48."  The maximum length is 48".
3. Use an all-white background (small graphics may be in color). See Costs Table below for the price differential for color.
4. The maximum length is 48".
5. Save the document to a flash drive.
6. Make an appointment with Al Early to review poster content, and then allow a two (2) day turnaround time to be safe.   If processing complications do not occur, the poster may be printed the day of the appointment.  Contact info:  Al Early (556-1307) or alphonzo.early@uc.edu.
