How do I prepare a large format poster (larger than 11×17)?
• Design your poster in Microsoft PowerPoint. If you use software other than Microsoft PowerPoint, please provide a PDF document to assure printability. • Enter the size of your poster under page setup. We recommend 40 x 50 inches for the largest size (Cost = $1/sq. ft.). The printer’s paper roll is 42 inches wide with a print area of 40 inches. Because the paper is on a roll, the length measurement is a variable. We cannot guarantee a file larger than 50 inches will print correctly. If you would like your poster mounted to foam-core board, please keep in mind that we stock board in 32 x 40 sheet size. • Print a reduced copy of the poster to your personal printer to make sure everything is printing correctly. We have found from past experience that if you’re unable to print your file, we can’t print it either. • Fill out an online work order and email your poster file to printshop@juniata.edu. Be sure to include the account number for billing.
