Printing Posters for Graduate Students

Please Read Carefully Before Submitting

1. Each graduate student is allowed to print one poster per year free of charge
2. Posters must be formatted correctly and in the proper file format before they will be printed
3. Appropriate file formats are:
• Adobe Photoshop (PSD)
• Adobe Acrobat (PDF)
• Adobe Illustrator (AI)
• Uncompressed Tagged Image (TIF)
• JPEG (JPG)
• Microsoft Publisher (PUB)
• Inkscape (SVG)
• Posters done in Powerpoint will not be printed due to software incompatibilities
4. Posters should ideally have a white background in order to conserve ink and lessen the potential for a corrupted print job
5. If a poster uses an inordinate amount of images or background art, the charge for the excess ink will be removed from a user's print allocation
6. Whenever possible do not rastorize lines of text in order to avoid aliasing issues.
7. Keep in mind that not all computers share all fonts. If a poster uses a more esoteric font (not Arial or New Times for example) please copy it along with the poster
