Research Graphics Lab
We have an HP5000 designjet printer. It prints out posters on a 42 inch roll...so common sizes for posters are 42" x 56." In other words, 42" is the limiting dimension for the height of the poster.
Other common sizes are 36" x 48" and 42" x 60"...we can generally work with whatever you send us to size it properly, although it will expedite the process if you set it properly from the beginning.
email me at: tford1@umbc.edu to get a .jpg or .doc file with some suggestions and guidelines about setting up a poster in Powerpoint.
WE NO LONGER CAN PRINT POSTERS HAVE USE LIGHT COLORED OR WHITE TEXT ON A VERY DARK BACKGROUND COLOR. Call first 410-455-2257 if you have any questions about this.
