The Discovery Learning Laboratory provides poster printing services for all Opus College of Engineering students and faculty.

If you are not part of the Opus College, please contact the Raynor Library for large format printing services.

Poster print requests are to be submitted by Work Order (campus network or VPN) or emailed to dlc@marquette.edu.

Our poster printing services regularly support the Opus College of Engineering's Design Day and Undergraduate Research Day.

Details and instructions:

• Print turnaround is (1) One to (4) four workdays (not counting weekends). You will receive an email notification when the poster is ready for pick-up.
• Poster template
  • This useful PowerPoint template covers most poster formats used in local events.You do not have to use it. It is a good point of reference.
• Name your file using the format  "Title - Your Name". This will allow us to track your poster in the printer system. 
• 42"x30" default size fits available 42x30 foam core display board
  • If you are part of an event in Engineering Hall, 42in x 30in is the default size for all posters. 42in x 30in foam core is what is used for Engineering Hall poster event set up.
  • Glossy paper will not be used for Engineering Hall events.
• Completed posters are delivered to a rack in Engineering Hall, DL128 (System Integration). Email messages will be sent via the work order system notifying you of the completion.
• PowerPoint slides are preferred due to plotter print control and precision. However, we can print most file types but this is not preferred due to unexpected printing problems we have encountered. PDFs are accepted but not preferred.
• Conference posters not associated with events in Engineering Hall are available by request. Email dlc@marquette.edu with those print requests. If the poster is going off campus, we will do our best to fill your need and make you look good.
• Poster file sizes should be less than 15 megabytes. If you are having trouble with a file size larger than 15 meg, reduce all pictures in the file to 150-200dpi. The file size will shrink.
• The Marquette University logo shall be used in accordance with university logo guidelines. If you wish to use the Opus College of Engineering logo, email dlc@marquette.edu.
• We do not accept disks, CDs, thumb drives, portable media, zip drives, carrier pigeons, SD Cards or Pony Express Messages because of the virus risks from physical media. We are also hesitant about unverified links. Please be careful.
• If you reached this far and we still have not answered your question, send us a note at dlc@marquette.edu
