Large Format (Poster) Printing
Properly formatted poster submissions will be printed in three (3) business days (Monday-Friday, excluding holiday and break periods) and can be paid for and picked up at the Library Services Desk.
If you need your poster printed quicker, we recommend checking out places such as Office Depot as they may be able to accomodate same day pickup, if submitted earlier in the day.
For groups and courses looking to print more than 10 posters at a time, please contact us at least one week in advance at rm-posterprinting@marquette.edu.
We offer four types of paper:
| Type | Description | Cost Per Linear Inch |
| Standard Paper | Matte, 90gsm Paper (Standard printer paper weight) | $0.29 |
| Semi-gloss Photo Paper | Photo paper, semi-gloss, 200 gsm | $0.39 |
| Polypropylene | Plastic-like, semi-gloss finish | $0.39 |
| Polyester Vinyl (fabric) | matte finish, fabric | $0.49 |
For example, a 36” x 48” poster printed on Universal bond paper would cost $13.92 (48 x 0.29). We 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 Library Services Desk, or via departmental billing.
