Poster Printing:

The Poster Printer is in the Teacher Tool Room, within the Curriculum Resource Collection. The printer is a HP DesignJet 110PS plotter produces great-looking color posters, produced at a resolution of 1200 dots per inch at a low cost for MSU faculty and staff. The cost is $3.00 per poster, up to 36'X24', each additional foot will cost $1 extra. Please allow 72 hours for poster preparation. Our preferred printing software is Microsoft PowerPoint.

You may submit your document with a USB drive or via email: adpposters@gmail.com.

The poster printer is not a photo printer.  You may incorporate images into your poster, but the majority of the poster must be text.

All posters must have a white background.  The writing can be colored.  Text should be a font of at least 18 to be able to be read, captions and footnotes may be smaller.  Titles and column heading may be much larger, depending on the amount of information you are displaying.
