Poster Printing
Posters are printed on a Hewlett Packard Designjet 800ps on 42 inch wide HP heavyweight coated roll paper.
Pricing
There is a $29 setup fee to help cover printer maintenance and then an additional $4 per linear foot. For example, a six foot poster would be $29 for setup and $24 for length for a total of $53.
File Formats
We can accept poster files in PDF, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, or PowerPoint formats. To avoid printing inconsistencies, we ask that you please send PowerPoint files with an accompanying PDF file if possible. Files should be scaled to the size you desire. If your file is not the size you want and you would like us to scale it to a different size, you need to tell us this prior to printing. Be aware that upscaling non-vector art will reduce image quality.
Timeframe
Please set up printing at least a week before you need the poster to ensure that it will be finished on time. We often receive several requests in the same time period and can only work on one poster at a time. If you would like assistance in designing your poster, please give us an additional week or more to work with you on this.
Ordering
Please send an initial request to multimedia@vancouver.wsu.edu with information about the poster, timeframe, and any additional needs or concerns you may have. If your file is small (less than 5mb), you may attach it to your email. Otherwise, it would be better to transfer it to us on a cd-r or other physical media.
