\"Poster<\/p>\n

The Research Data and Design Commons has two large-format printers for printing research posters, banners and signs. Our two printers, the HP DesignJet Z6dr and the HP DesignJet Z9dr will print PDF files on a 36\u2033 wide roll of matte or glossy paper, on a 36\u2033 wide roll of canvas or on a 42\u2033 wide roll\u00a0of adhesive fabric.<\/p>\n

The printable width of the glossy paper is 36\u2033 while the printable width of the matte and canvas is 35.5\u2033 and for adhesive fabric it is 42\u2033. PDF images should be designed to these specific dimensions to avoid distortion or loss of detail.<\/p>\n

We only accept prints in person at the lower-level service desk.<\/p>\n

Large-Format Printing Fees<\/h2>\n

Each roll is produced at a standard width, so the pricing is determined by the length of the print. Rates are listed in full-foot increments but can also be billed at the half-foot increments (6\u201d inches) at half the full foot price.<\/p>\n

Payment must be completed prior to printing. We accept UD Flex, credit cards, debit cards or Webform (Requisition ID). Please note that cash or purpose codes\/speed types are not accepted.<\/p>\n

If you wish to use a purpose code\/speed type, please fill out the Request for Service \u2013 Large Format Printing<\/a> webform using that PeopleSoft SpeedType\/Purpose Code\/Account Code. Just make sure that the\u00a0is selected as the location. We only accept completed and approved, and sent to the \u201cservice provider\u201d webforms. Please come with the Requisition ID number to help us find your web form when you come to print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Please allow adequate time for the printing and drying of large-format images. For canvas prints, we recommend next-day pickup to allow 24-hours for curing before folding or rolling. Glossy, matte, and adhesive fabric papers dry nearly instantly once printed.<\/p>\n

People may watch posters being printed through the window or may leave and return later to claim their prints. Staff are not responsible for any incorrectly formatted PDFs or for poster ink fading over time.<\/p>\n
