Printing a Poster
All files must be provided in PDF format. You'll need PDF software. From your original poster file, create a PDF file by using your Print dialogue box.
Resolution settings must be high (150 minimum for images) for high quality output. Check your resolution settings in print options before printing/saving as a PDF file. The printer handles 1200 resolution.
Images taken off the Web at 72 and used in your poster will not produce high quality results. Do not use copyrighted Web images. If using the UWRF logo, request a high resolution image from the design team
. Review identity standards for correct usage of the UWRF logo.
You can download Office 2007 add-in
to save files directly as PDF. Check your PDF file in Acrobat Reader before sending it to us. Print a sample copy to fit an 8.5" x 11" sheet on your own printer to verify that images and fonts are correct.
If you use PowerPoint to create your poster, use the 10 x 7.5 slide size. This size is proportional to a 40" x 30" poster. The Fast Copy Office will choose 30" x 40" paper, rotate the image (PDF file) and print to fit the paper. The poster printer will interpolate the image and maintain resolution as it enlarges it. If you want a size other than 30" x 40", use an original size that is proportional to your desired finished size (e.g., a 36" x 42" poster could be set up as a 6" x 7" custom size slide).
