Poster Printing
The Office of Undergraduate Research operates a large format printer to facilitate undergraduate conference poster printing. To support the dissemination of research, we offer this service at no cost to undergraduate students and to faculty who are presenting with students at a conference. Please follow the guidelines and instructions below.
Please email your poster to our@weber.edu at least 1 week before your requested print date. (Earlier deadlines may apply for large events such as the Research and Engagement Symposium, UCUR, and NCUR.)
Include the following in your email:
- Subject line: "Poster Printing."
- Your student status (undergraduate or graduate)
- Your program/major area of study
- The name of the conference where you will present
- Your requested print date
*For students and faculty who wish to print a poster for a class or non-research event, or for graduate students, the cost of printing is approximately $5 per linear foot, $17.78 for a 42" x 36" poster. Please email our@weber.edu with your poster pdf, and we will send instructions for payment.
Research and Engagement Symposiums
Poster printing deadlines for the Spring and Fall Symposiums will be announced in advance. Please adhere to all posted deadlines.
Late posters will not be accepted. If you miss the submission deadline, you may contact Kinko’s or Wildcat Design & Print for alternative printing options.
Poster Design Guidelines
- Template Requirement: For free printing, you must use our poster template.
- Resolution: Ensure poster images are high resolution (300dpi) for optimal quality.
- Background Colors: Avoid dark backgrounds with light text. We may refuse to print posters with overly saturated backgrounds. Lighter, less saturated background colors print better, dry faster, and smear less.
- Sizing must be 42" by 36":
- Adobe Software (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.): Save your final file as a PDF sized 42" x 36".
- PowerPoint: Format your poster to 42" x 36" and save it as a PDF.
File Preparation and Submission
- Accepted File: PDF only.
- Proofreading: Posters will be printed exactly as submitted. We do not proofread or edit your files, so please ensure your file is fully reviewed before sending it.
- File Submission:
- Email Submission: Send your PDF poster to our@weber.edu.
- File Sharing: If sharing via a file-sharing service, send it to our@weber.edu and erinkendall@weber.edu and hannahclawson1@weber.edu.
- Pickup:
- We will email you when your poster is available for pickup, along with instructions.
