Burton D. Morgan Center
Poster Printer Policy and Guidelines
The following are guidelines all staff and students must use when submitting files for print to the poster print staff, or when using the machine within your own department.
- Posters should be in PowerPoint or pdf format. If the PowerPoint poster was created on a Mac it will need to be converted to pdf on the Mac before being sent to mrgnposterprinter@gmail.com or before saving to flash drive to be printed at poster lab. Mac PowerPoint pictures and fonts do not always transfer correctly to a PC.
- Discovery Park trained staff may use the poster printer at any time for academic purposes. Individuals requesting poster printing are encouraged to use the poster printer students within the posted hours. Having your poster printed at the Burton D. Morgan Center is not guaranteed. Walk-ins outside the scheduled poster lab hours might not be able to be accommodated immediately.
- Students or staff may email their presentation to the poster print staff for printing, this is the preferred action. Please allow 1-2 business days for your poster to be printed. The poster print staff will let you know via email when your poster is ready for pick it up.
Email address: mrgnposterprinter@gmail.com
Please provide the poster print staff with the following:
Your Name
Department/College
Reason for poster: i.e. – conference, poster session, research display
- We do not print posters with colored backgrounds (no filled in color backgrounds). To highlight portions of your poster, small areas of color fill are acceptable.
- Please use standard/uniform sizes in either landscape or portrait measuring: 24” x 36” or 48” x 36”
- When you pick up your poster please sign the log-in sheet, located by the computer or on the table with the posters. Please write down the number of posters printed and what the posters will be used for along with other requested information.
- We do our best to make sure that we are properly supplied with paper, ink, etc. There are times when we have a large number of requests unexpectedly and our supply may be gone before a new order arrives. If you are requesting to print a large quantity of posters you may be asked to bring your own paper. We should be notified ahead of time when large quantities are expected for poster sessions or workshops.
Paper can be purchased from Guy Brown Office Products Catalog: P8C6030C heavyweight coated paper 36x10
