Posters

The spirit of our Poster Printing Service is in support of individual, academic projects, and pursuits for students, faculty, and staff. Typical usage includes posters for symposiums, conferences, and some limited University signage. We currently utilize HP DesignJet 42-inch plotter printers. These wide-format printers use HP Heavy Coated Paper rolls (42 inches in width by 100 feet in length) and handle print jobs of 2400 x 1200 dpi in full color using 6 Genuine HP Vivid photo ink cartridges. Posters will be printed with one dimension at 42 inches as is the size of the width of the paper. Large format paper cutters are provided in our primary service locations for those who wish to trim or crop their posters.

As these poster printers can output different sized posters at different costs, this require digital media services to monitor and review the poster submission queue to best ensure files are suitable for processing, are printed and stored with care for ease of client pickup at their convenience. With our improved online process and two locations of pick-up, we guarantee 3-day turn around. Although often submissions may be processed more promptly, due to low service desk volume or few orders in queue, due to the nature of our services, we cannot guarantee that jobs can get processed sooner, but we are continually working to improve this process to the benefit of the Loyola community.

These paper cutters are available near each poster pickup service location.
