Poster Printing FAQs

Posters are printed on a first come first served basis and are printed promptly. An exact time cannot be determined as printing times will vary due to the current volume of posters that have been submitted.

Our printer paper maximum size is 44 inches X 100 inches. One dimension (width or height) must be 44 inches or less. We can rotate the poster to accommodate printing as long as one dimension is below the 44 inch threshold.

We only print large format size posters - our printer paper width is 44”. We do not print letter, legal, tabloid or other small size prints.

Pdf format - Open the file in Acrobat Reader – click File (top left) – scroll down and click Properties. In the Advanced section – Page Size will be the poster size.

PowerPoint - Open Powerpoint (2016 version) – click Design (top left) – click Slide Size (top right) Click Custom Slide Size – your poster dimensions should be displayed.

Open Powerpoint (2016 version). Click Design (top left). Click Slide Size (top right). Click Custom Slide Size. Enter the dimensions you require. Select the Orientation (portrait or landscape). Select Maximize or Ensure Fit. NOTE: Changing the size of a Powerpoint slide may change the formatting of the slide contents. You may have to re-size/adjust the contents to fit the new slide size. NOTE: The maximum dimensions for Powerpoint is 56 inches.

We do not print fabric posters.

Payment is completed when the poster is picked up. The only payment options are Cash or UWO Speedcode, whichever payment method was selected on the form.

We cannot change the payment method after the poster has been printed. The printing and payment information we require has already been entered into our database and we are not able to retrieve the data to make changes.

A Speedcode is a code associated with a specific UWO research grant or Department administrative account to pay for expenses etc.

All posters must be picked up from Social Science Room 1226.
