How do I print a poster?

Email 

1. Make sure your printing is scheduled to happen a few days to a week before your conference for room if anything goes wrong.
2. Let our graphic designer, Lynn McMasters, lynn.mcmasters@sjsu.eduknow a week or more before you need to print your poster with when you want to print, so that I can make sure that I have the materials and pleaseso givewe 2can schedule a printing time.
3. Concerning size, we usually have of photo paper on rolls of 36” and 42”. That does not mean that your poster can’t be bigger than that, but it means that either you width or length can’t be larger than that the other dimension can. As an example, if the conference says your poster can be 45”X45” we can only print you poster 45”X42”. I would suggest that the 45” be your width (you will not miss the 3” at the bottom).
4. You can use any program to create your poster but you should convert it to a PDF when you are finished.
5. If you are working on a PC then DosPDF works best if on a MAC then use Acrobat Distiller to create an Acrobat PDF file. Some applications have a save as command for PDF. Check that file very carefully make sure it is really the # of inches you want and it looks good in Acrobat at 200%.
6. You may also contact Lynn McMasters if you need help with any graphics program, . For this, a heads up a couple of weeks minimumout notice.
   is a good idea.
