HOURS/WINTER 2015
FORMAT
Monday through Thursday 8:00am-8:00pm
Friday 8:00am-5:00pm
Your poster should be in PDF format for us to be able to print it.
Having a PDF format, ensures that the fonts, placement of text and
photos, etc. are kept the same as you had originally designed
it prior to converting to PDF.
(Closed at 12:30-1:00pm)
POSTERS ARE PRINTED ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED BASIS.
COME PREPARED
We do not supply tubes, boxes, etc.
We do supply rubber bands and ULINE poly tubing for your poster
on a first come first serve basis. Once we run out, we run out.
We have two cutting boards: one that can cut up to 24 inches and
the other that can cut up to 54 inches. If you need to trim your
poster, bring scissors, ruler, cutting mat, exacto knife, etc.
Edit and review your poster BEFORE you come to print it. If you
realize you need to make changes to your file the next person
who is ready to print will be serviced first.
It also MUST be set up to the size at which you want it to print.
We cannot blow up an 8.5 x 11 or any other size
document to a larger size.
If you need any assistance in adjusting the size of your poster,
the font size of your text so that it is readable from a distance,
converting to PDF, etc., we are more than happy to help.
Our paper is 42 inches wide, but you must allow for a half inch
margin on each side. Therefore if your poster is over 41 inches
on both sides, we will not be able to print it.
A typical size of a poster is 48x36
Be sure to save your work in more than one place and bring it
on a flash drive or CD.
COSTS
TIME
We charge posters by the linear inch.
Give yourself plenty of time to print. A typical poster will take 30-45
minutes to print and dry. However, unforeseen circumstances
may create delays in printing.
If you would like your poster printed on gloss, the charge will be
$0.50 per linear inch.
If you would like your poster printed on matte/regular, the charge
will be $0.30 per linear inch.
Also note that these are very busy times for printing,
have your project done well in advance.
For example, if your poster is under 41 inches on one side, you will
be charged by the short side. If your poster is over 41 inches on
one side, you will be charged by the long side.
Please be patient during this process.
