Large Format Printing
The Digital Scholarship Lab is moving!
Due to construction, the large format printing service will be temporarily unavailable starting May 12th at 5:00pm until the start of the Fall 2023 semester. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Presenting a poster at a conference? Never fear, we have the tools to help you out!
Large Format Printing
Properly formatted poster submissions will be printed within three business days (Monday-Friday, excluding holiday and break periods) and can be paid for/picked up at the Raynor Digital Scholarship Lab Desk (Raynor Lower Level). Students will be notified via email when the print is ready for pick-up.
We offer three types of paper:
Type | Description | Cost Per Linear Inch |
Universal Bond Paper | Matte, 90gsm Paper (Standard printer paper weight) | $0.26 |
Photographic Paper | Photographic paper, semigloss, 200 gsm | $0.35 |
Polyester Vinyl | Lightweight, Matte finish | $0.45 |
For example, a 36” x 48” poster printed on Universal bond paper would cost $12.48 (48 x .26).
Digital Scholarship Lab staff can provide a cost estimate if needed.
Patrons who do not pick up their posters by the end of the semester will have a hold applied to their library account until the cost of the print has been paid. Payment is accepted via Marquette Cash at the Digital Scholarship Lab Desk.
