Poster Printing

Color poster printing (36" max on one side) is available in the IRC and must be done via either PowerPoint or PDF. Poster printing costs $9.00 per linear foot, measured along the longest side. (A 27 in by 36 in poster would be $27.00, not including tax or credit surcharge)

Poster Formatting Instructions

1. We ask that your file is a PowerPoint or PDF document that is appropriately sized. The maximum width for posters is 36”, but it may be as long as needed. We can rotate the poster to print it, but at least one side must be 36 inches or less.
2. To set the dimensions of your PowerPoint, click the “Design” tab, and select “Slide Size” on the right.
3. Select “Custom Slide Size” from the drop down menu.
4. Change the dimensions of the slide. Whatever dimensions you choose will reflect that actual size of the poster. Set the dimensions BEFORE creating the posters design, so that the size change will not affect your poster.
5. Create your slide and ensure the sizing and formatting is right, as the IRC will not format any documents.
6. Complete the Poster Printing Form

Poster Form Instructions

After formatting your poster, we ask that you then complete our poster printing form, so we can confirm price and dimensions before printing.
