Posters:
Media Services maintains a large printer for academic poster printing. The University community can print posters up to 41 inches by 51 inches in full color. All posters must be created through PowerPoint, for the poster printer will only print using the PowerPoint application. Media Services maintains and operates this printer, purchased with grants from the T3 program, through the College of Arts and Sciences.

Creating a Poster
- Poster size can be no larger than 41"x 51"
- Adjust the size of the poster to the paper, by going to Design/page set up/custom size
- Arrange elements in the Poster to look good at 100% view
- Maximum font size is 200pts. Any larger will be pixelated
- Save as a .ppt (no other format)
- Send to Media Services in an email (dtate@stetson.edu) for printing!
or bring poster in on a USB or CD to Libr 09 - We need a minimum of one day for printing
- You are solely responsible for content and layout
- Media Services does not trim or laminate
Troubleshooting
- Check the dimensions on 3 folds, there are several kinds
- PowerPoint doesn't print to the edge (add a fudge factor)
- Make sure that your poster is no more than 51 inches MAXIMUM length and no less than 12 inches MINIMUM length
- Double check your font size and spelling, especially names, non-English words & scientific terms
- Extremely saturated backgrounds have a tendency to cause the poster to wrinkle and will be charged an ink fee.
