Large Poster Printing

Patron Services operates a large format printer (LFP) that can print posters, photos, banners, and artwork.

Print Size

The image you create can be any size as long as the smallest dimension does not exceed 42 (or 44) inches. For example: a 24" x 36" photo can be printed. All paper is 42 inches wide, but Matte Photo, Faux Canvas, Canvas and Print-N-Stick. Matte, are 44 inches wide. Print-N-Stick is 24" wide.

File Format:

We accept files in any image format (preferred), PDF, or PowerPoint format.
While we can attempt to work with all formats, image files generally provide the best quality.
We do not offer editing services. If your file does not meet our quality standards, we will request a better-resolution file.
Sometimes, we can assist with resizing files, but we cannot be held responsible if quality is compromised during the process.

Pickup Instructions

(Cash or Check Payments)

If you choose to pay with cash, please bring the exact amount. The front desk no longer provides change, but you can request change from the administrative assistant in the Dean's office located on the main floor.
Payment will be collected at pickup, and printing will begin only after the payment is received. The printing process should take just a few minutes after payment, provided it is not a large-scale request

Disclaimer

Printing is on a first-come, first-served. Most printing jobs are completed within 24 hours, depending on traffic. The ink is dry to the touch as it comes out of the printer, but the paper still has solvents in it. We recommend allowing the print to dry for a few minutes before rolling the image. Poly paper, in particular, needs extra time to dry. When your printing is completed, we will contact you either by email or a phone call.
