CNSM Poster Printing

Update March 13, 2024. The CNSM Print Shop is no longer accepting print requests until further notice. We are in the process of acquiring a new printer for ongoing services and will update as soon as possible.

The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics offers poster printing for students and faculty who need posters for conferences, meetings, or presentations. This is a supplemental service provided by the Dean’s Office and not a full-time print shop. Please be mindful of timelines, fees, and approvals needed for printing.

Process for printing posters

  • Requests for poster prints are to be submitted two weeks in advance of pick up date using the form below.
  • Posters must have faculty approval before submission.
  • Final posters are to be submitted no later than three business days before poster pick up date. Do note that more time may be required during busy conference seasons such as ACS, and Student Research Symposiums which can take up to 5 days.
  • Submit posters to cnsmposters@uca.edu. The total cost and pick up date will be confirmed to the email address provided in the original request. Email will also be sent once your poster printing is complete.
    • See costs and additional fees below.

Important guidelines in mind for best print results:

  • The paper used in the poster printer is 42″ wide.
    • Printer automatically adds 1″ blank space margins on all edges.
  • The submitter is responsible for making sure the poster is formatted and that all graphics are scaled appropriately for the size requested.
    • Projecting the poster on a large screen or wall to ensure that all content is sized correctly is recommended.
    • Please verify poster size after saving the file in the desired format since the poster size can be altered during the conversion process.
  • Please submit posters in PDF format.
    • Google Slides will not be accepted.
  • Please note that printer default color scheme is CMYK and colors may change through conversion.
  • The submitter is responsible for trimming excess borders from paper.
